Serious question here.

 

Assume I want to sell a gun to an out of state buyer but he wants to inspect the gun before the sale. Due to logistics it is only convenient to meet for inspection once. So, given this, assume I meet the buyer at a FFL in PA with the gun, can (or will) the PA FFL accept deliever from me...not an FFL.

 

It's actually a pretty simple question that I probably made harder.

 

Are FFL's allowed to accept delivery from non-FFL's?

It will depend on the FFL. Yes they can accept a gun from a non-FFL. They will probably be more inclined to accept it in a FTF transaction, than if it were shipped to them. They will most likely want to see & copy your DL. Call the FFL first and confirm they will do this.

 

Adios,

"Are FFL's allowed to accept delivery from non-FFL's?

 

why not? can't I take my firearm to the gun store to sell it?

why not?

I don't know.

 

The guy I use will only accept from other FFL's. I didn't inquire if that was his policy or a rule/procedure he had to abide by.

 

I know the answer is to call around, but I figured to get some feedback before even trying to solidify the deal.

I know you asked a general question, but here is my rant...

 

FFL's sometimes take it upon themselves to make things even more restrictive than the law calls specifies. Avoid them and use FFL's that will accept from individuals. If you are in Central jersey, PM me and I can name several for you that will accept from individuals and won't gouge you on transfer fees.
