Thanks
The only reason I asked was because this argument was going on somewhere else and I figured someone on the 🔥 would know.
Apologies for the misinformation.
Guess I spent too much time as an FFL dealer.
I had the Post Office call an FFL dealer to ask if me shipping a rifle to a guy in state was legal. Like you, they said NO.
Why the Post Office was calling them I am sure I do not know. Anyways, of course he'd say NO, he gets an extra $35 if you ship through him.
To be fair, an FFL dealer can't. It either has to go another FFL dealer or have a 4473, and be logged off his books that way.
I knew you could ship a firearm to yourself anywhere, including crossing state lines, but not the sales thing inside state lines.
Now that this discussion is up, it's jogging my memory a bit, and I do remember sales/shipping inside state lines. But, that can have a downside as well, if you sell to the wrong person.
