Can a NJ FFL holder accept an out of state firearm shipment from an private individual who is a (non-FFL) ?

First time I am buying from out of ,and the seller wants to ship himself.

Thanks

Yes, although I have run into FFLs that try to tell me it's not legal. Find yourself an FFL who will accept from private parties. 

Legally yes, but make sure whatever FFL you use knows and understands it is being shipped by a non-FFL holder.

So it is legal to do?

i accept from private parties. as long as they contact me and get me a copy of their government issued ID

So the only requirement would be a copy of their Gov't ID. Would a DL be OK?

yes

Thanks guys!

Just a technical point but there is no legal requirement for the receiving FFL to get a copy of an ID.  FFLs are allowed to check in firearms using the return address on the label.  That's not always advisable since the return address could be the post office, UPS Store, or fabricated completely, which is why most FFLs have a policy that require a copy of an ID.

I'm new to the forum & I have an ffl question  My friend asked me to help him with a c&r rifle from a private out of state seller. He sent the money & I set the transfer up. The ffl asked for the sellers dl & a letter of ownership. When the rifle came in, he sent the letter of ownership but made a mistake & wrote I was the transferee instead of my friend, Now he says he can't do the transfer, how can I fix this ???    I can't do the transfer no fid card

 

Thanks

You have no FPID?  You should not have been involved in this at all.  The firearm must go back after someone pays the receiving dealer for his time and shipping.  Live and learn.

PK90 thanks for your response would it matter if the seller sent another letter listing the correct person as the transferee?

 

Thanks

That would sound a lot like a straw purchase to me.
