Is it NJ or Federal requirement that if  you are having a firearm transferred to a local dealer for you to pickup, that the entity sending the FFL has to send your chosen local FFL a  request via fax or Email before your FFL will provide its FFL paperwork to the sending FFL which of course is necessary for them to ship it to your FFL (unless possibly your FFL is already on file)?  Does it matter who initiates the request?  Would your local FFL just be concerned where they are sending the information?   I have been instructed that the sending FFL that received your payment has to initiate this?   It seems that that would further delay the process when you can just have your FFL send its information with a copy of your order faxed to the sending one...  Or, is your local FFL just making it difficult by not sending preemptively?

You are making it far more complicated than it is. The buyer or the buyers FFL sends the seller a copy of their license. It can be by fax, e-mail or snail mail. That's it.

Adios,

Only the sending dealer needs to see a copy. There are dealers that play the "show me yours and I'll show you mine" bullshit.

I am not making it a big deal.  My FFL is.  My FFL won't send the information until a "formal" request is sent from the selling FFL.  The selling FFL isn't putting forth the "request" in a timely fashion and my permit is ticking.  I chose this local FFL to support the business even though it is  not the cheapest in the area and this is what I get. THIS crap is going to tack at least 2-3 days onto this and phone calls, etc. and now with the weekend, I will have to wait until Monday.  I am just trying to determine if my FFL is following the letter of the law,  or not to determine whether or not I should give them future business.

Is it BS, or is it required?

The sending ffl needs a copy.  For one thing is to make sure their not sending to someones house.  Not sure if its bs or required but i would bet on the required aspect.  Especially being sent from another state. Probably a batf thing. 

 

Although stupid in today's electronic world, the sending dealer needs to "see" a copy of the license, per ATF Regulations. Email, fax, text, or snailmail is acceptable. That sending dealer should verify the information via eZCheck or by calling ATF before sending the firearm. A nonlicensee seller is not required to see a license. Also, the receiving dealer does not even need a copy. It is just done as a courtesy. 

ETA: I have my license on my website so that anyone can send, download, or wipe their ass with it. It is not a protected document. 

Thanks.  So, my FFL that is insisting the request is made before sending info is either wrong or just making it difficult for me by just not shooting the copy over to the sending FFL!  

Yes
