Shipping to an out of state FFL

[gfl216 226]

Hopefully someone can answer this question.  If I buy a shotgun on gunbroker from a private seller, can he ship it directly a FFL in NJ or does he have to have a FFL from his state ship to a FFL in NJ?

Some FFL's in NJ will not accept a shipment from a private seller and some will. You need to check with the NJ FFL you want to receive the gun.

Thanks, I'll ask around and see if if I can find a local one who will

I shipped a handgun to Buds a couple years ago(may be different for long guns). At the time (laws may have changed) it had to be shipped over night via UPS or FEDEX and only full service (possibly it may have been from a hub) locations will accept it. USPS is definitely a No Go

I don't mean to be unkind, but why did you feel it necessary to add this? It isn't relevant to the topic and the OP's question had already been answered. We're all anxious to participate and to help our fellow gun owners, but your response just confuses the issue.

Just to clarify your post - if a handgun is shipped by a private individual, they must use a common carrier (UPS or FedEx). It is the carrier's rules that require next day shipping - not a legal requirement. The least expensive way to ship a handgun is using a dealer because an FFL is allowed to ship a handgun using the USPS.

Long guns can be shipped by a private individual using the USPS. 

Sorry for being a dick.

Adios,
