Also, my FFL is saying that you need to ship through an FFL on your end.

So, I guess I need a fax number for an FFL in your neck of the woods.

That's your FFL's policy, not law. He should be able to send it straight to your FFL for them to handle the transfer. Straight off the BATF's FAQ page:

(B1) To whom may an unlicensed person transfer firearms under the GCA?

A person may sell a firearm to an unlicensed resident of his or her state, if the buyer is not prohibited by law from receiving or possessing a firearm, or to a licensee in any state. A firearm other than a curio or relic may not be transferred interstate to a licensed collector. [18 U. S. C 922( a)( 3) and (5), 922( b)( 3), 27 CFR 178.29]


So, what happens is that Phil would transfer the firearm to your local licensee, who would then transfer the firearm to you after performing the necessary background checks.

Beat me to it.

Hunh.

Ok, well, I'll go just talk to the owner (as opposed to random employees) and if it turns out to be the store policy after all, I guess I'll find somewhere else and save Alaric the fees.

Well, I went and talked to the owner, and now have an inked copy of their FFL. So, I'll send that to you with a postal money order sometime tomorrow, Monday at the latest.

Cool. Now I just have to remember where the "real" post office is around here to cash it .... Oh, right, it's over on DW Highway.
