Hello, I have someone in Maryland interested in purchasing a handgun. I see online that a pistol permit is not necessary there but can't find much else. Does anyone know anything regarding transfer to MD or could possibly direct me in the right direction.

 

Thanks

The interested party in MD has to get the firearm from an FFL. You will need to contact that FFL and see if they are willing to accept a direct shipment from you(probably not, but possibly) or give it to your local FFL who ships it to his local FFL.

 

Alternatively, you can go in person to an FFL in MD and transfer it directly with the buyer.

Thank you!

Just get the info. on the FFL they are using. Bring it to your FFL and hand over the gun. Takes about 2 mins. All you pay is the shipping, which shouldn't be more than $10 w/ delivery confirmation.

Shipping:

 

If the buyer's FFL will accept the gun from a non-FFL (he'll probably want a copy of your DL), then you can ship it directly to the buyer's FFL in his state of residence. However, you cannot ship the gun via the USPS, so it must go FedEx or UPS, both of which require air shipment, which can be rather expensive.

 

or

 

Take it to your (NJ) FFL and they can send it to the buyer's FFL via the USPS - which is far cheaper than an air shipment. Your FFL is going to charge a fee plus the shipping cost , to do this, but the two combined are usually less than air freight.

 

Buyer must take delivery from an FFL in their (the buyer's) state of residence.

 

As was pointed out, the third alternative is for you to hand deliver it to the buyer's FFL - given that Maryland can be as bad as NJ in regard to transport, I'd be very careful. Maybe an e-mail from the FFL stating that he's expecting you on a particular date to transfer a specific serial numbered firearm would be sufficient CYA material.

 

Adios,
