Need help on a gun

[RandyR]

Sorry guys--I was typing slower than I was thinking. As stated there are legal ways to purchace firearms, even from other states for the private person. As an example ( and I don't know everything about the gun laws,but the way I read it) I can sell a gun to a friend/or person in another state, but the gun has to go thru an FFL dealer and be entered in his book in the state that the friend/person resides in. I can send this gun to the FFL thru private campany ( FEDEX-UPS,etc) to the FFL in my friends/persons state. Now if I purchased the handgun today and sent it out tomorrow that would be considered a staw purchace. If I'm wrong, please correct me. Thanks

 

Yes. And unless the laws have changed since my collector FFL expired the sender should have a copy of the receiving FFL's license. The person sending does not need an FFL, although some dealers will tell you otherwise, trying to collect an FFL transfer fee on both ends. Make a duplicate copy of the receiving FFL's license and include it in the package in case it gets inspected.

 

Also, local laws can take precedence over Federal law and impose additional restrictions or obligations.
