I am a RI resident, we require private sales to go through FFL transfer process to allow for 7 day waiting period. I have read all of the R.I. Gen. Laws §§ 11-47-35 – 11-47-35.2 and cannot find a law regarding selling a firearm to someone in another state such as MA or CT.

Does anyone know the legal process I should be going through to sell a gun to an out of state resident? So frustrating that even when you want to follow the law, you cant figure out how to...

My first inclination would be to get the gun to an FFL in their state, but I don't know if i can give the individual the gun to bring to the FFL or if i need to drop off, or can i mail it etc? any info would be greatly appreciated.
