This has come up many times since I got back into shooting. One store told me to stop using them for transfers because they were afraid of receiving firearms that didn't have a signed FFL with the shipment. I asked my gunsmith, he said yep, you have to have an FFL to send a gun across state lines. My pastor said no, it's even posted in Gun Broker that only the receiving address must have an FFL. From the Gun Broker website;

"You do not have to be a licensed dealer to sell a firearm. By Federal law, the person to whom you ship the gun must be a licensed dealer. If the buyer is not a licensed dealer, the buyer must make arrangements with a licensed dealer in his state to receive the firearm and transfer it to the buyer. We have very in-depth information on shipping firearms legally on our Firearm Shipping Guide page. Never, under any circumstances, ship a firearm without following the steps on the Firearm Shipping Guide page! Shipping illegally is a felony and will earn you a one-way ticket to prison."

So, I ask a Fedex driver, he says he buys guns all the time through GB, and he says both ends have to have an FFL. I'm pretty sure that's wrong.

So, then, if I take the gun to FEDEX and send it overnight, I have to state the contents as a gun right?

But what if they don't know the law and think I have to have an FFL to ship? Any advice? Thanks, I have to ship a gun this afternoon or tomorrow and don't want to get dinged again when I sell it. Buy the gun, Kaching! to the gunsmith, sell the gun Kaching again, plus paying the overnight. Makes me want to get out of shooting.

Thanks for any advice.
