recently i went into the gun shop and inquired about buying a gun from a person on this forum. I asked if he had to take it to a gun shop and have a ffl send it to my ffl holder- a/k/a gun shop. He said no, that a private person could send it thru UPS red label to the gun shop. If this is so, why do I have to bring a seller in when I buy locally? I could have someone in the next state for example, ship me the gun. Any clues? Did I say it right ??
