ftf nonregulated long gun from MD to VA...illegal, right?

[hogarth]

Am I correct? I am selling an unregulated but modern longgun to a guy in VA. Am I correct that I must ship to his FFL? He cannot just meet me to pick it up, right?

 

[BUFF7MM]

Correct, or you could drive it to his FFL.

[hogarth]

Right. Yes, I knew I could also drive it there. Not an option for me in this case. Thanks!

Why is this not a regular face to face sale?

Can't between different states, that's a federal law

So if I (MD resident) drive up to a PA gun shop and buy a non-regulated rifle, I can't just walk out of the store with it?

You can, the do a NICS check, we are talking FTF state to state

 

[Half-cocked]

Unless it's a C&R firearm, and one of you has a C&R license.

ok, thx

So as long as seller is FFL you're OK?

 

[Mooseman]

ok, thx

Yes.

 

[Inigoes]

Or the buyer is an FFL. It's ok.

03 FFL count also for a firearm older than 50 years.

Wow, I thought face to face non-regulated was OK anywhere.

Are the buyer and the seller breaking the law?
I could see where a VA resident is a MDS member and agrees to a FTF sale of a 10/22 lets say and they agree to meet up somewhere in MD. The MD resident assumes the VA resident lives in MD, but they don't.

Club fed will welcome them both with open arms.

I would say yes, State to state is based on federal laws not state law

I guess that makes a drivers license a good idea to request if doing a FTF sale.

 

[Inigoes]

Yes.

Obtw, There is an allowance for active duty service members in the regulations.

 

[BigT]

Nice too know... Was totally unaware that FTF of non regulated required an FFL..

 

[Omega21]

Yes.

Obtw, There is an allowance for active duty service members in the regulations.

That allowance is pretty limited. Last I used it as a service member it just allowed you to use the state to which you were assigned on permanent duty (as opposed to temporary duty) - with written orders - as your state of residence in addition to the state listed as your home of record. So Inigoes, you are 100% correct. I just wanted to elaborate a little. If things changed since 2005 someone please jump in.
