I read in the above post that it is fine for a non-licensed person to send a gun directly (and across state lines) to a FFL for a sale to another non-licensed person. Then why can I not find one around me who will accept a gun from a non-licensed seller without it going through a FFL at his end? Is there some sort of liability? One dealer even told me "the ATF could come in here and shut us down for that".
Thanks |

Because A - Your dealer is misinformed
or more likely B - He is tired of trying to accept shipments from individuals who do not include the proper documentation, i.e., copy of drivers license, Invoice of sale. Without the DL or some other reasonable proof of the entity you received the firearm from you cannot enter it into your bound book. Then the firearm would need to be returned if possible and if not he cannot transfer it to anyone or enter it correctly into his books. or Option C the dealer doesn't like you

| It is definately harder. We are the only one around here in the area that dosent require they come from a dealer but have been considering changing that policy and going FFL only. Have had guns come in with no DL copy like requested to the point of coming in with their Screen name as the sender and a made up address. Just getting to be too much of a hassle to deal with that an FFL only policy is looking tempting. We said before we wouldnt do it but the sellers are just messing it up for everyone else. Also we have had problems with individuals imporperly packing a gun(oversized box no padding), not insuring it to save money then when it comes in damaged and the buyer gets mad they say thats not how we shipped it out(showing their pre packing pics) and your dealer must have damaged it. |

Your damn right, I'm still holding for an address for a barreled action. Pisses me off! |
