I've done face-to-face and guns shipped to FFL's. No issues. Like others have said, if something doesn't seem right, don't continue. Last one I was selling. Buyer wanted to send "certified check". The FFL appeared to check out on the ATF website and addresses matched. He wouldn't do a postal money order. So, told him I would accept a certified check on either Bank of America or Wells Fargo since both are here and I could cash it. Never heard from the guy again. I figure I don't need to get in trouble for a few hundred dollars. Besides, here is SC you can do face-to-face with other residents at gun shows.
