A few questions involving FFL Transfers
I live in NC, and my grandfather has a shotgun that he wishes to give to me. If I go pick it up in person do I still need to go to a FFL and then have them call in for a NICS check and do all that paperwork?
Also, on a similar case, my grandfather on my other side of my family recently passed away; his firearms, which his estate decided should go to me, are still in West Virginia. Same question: Do I need to go to a FFL? I believe the ATF makes an exemption for inheritances and bequeathals but my google-fu is weak and I have been unable to find anything substantial one way or the other. If it makes any difference, the physical transfer (me taking possession) would be done in person. My previous NICS checks have all come up clean, but I don't want to be whacked for a fee for taking whats rightfully mine if I can avoid it. |

Intrastate transactions are governed entirely by state law. Some states require FFL transfers and/or prohibit delivery by mail, but I am not familiar with NC state law, so I cannot comment on it. Quote:
