Firearms shipping laws
Not sure how this works, I sent my Vaquero back to Ruger for a binding issue. They shipped it back to my house. How do they get to do that? I thought it had to be sent to an FFL address.

Do I have to get an FFL involved if I am buying a gun from someone that lives in another state and I go pick up the gun in person. I am assuming I only need an FFL if the gun is shipped, correct, or is that for any purchase transaction across state lines?

You can only buy a handgun in your resident state. If being shipped from another state, it must go through an FFL holder.
Now, a seller can drive it to an FFL holder in your state (but, he MUST deliver it to the FFL holder, not you), you can meet him there and the FFL holder can do the transfer. You'll need to coordinate with the FFL guy ahead of time because some will only accept a handgun from another FFL holder. Here is some good info on handgun sales/transfers/transport: http://www.atf.gov/firearms/faq/unlicensed-persons.html Last edited by donato; October 14, 2012 at 05:37 PM. |
