I was contacted about a gun posted on Armslist, and told the buyer I would ship to his FFL for $X. I had originally advertised as a face-to-face local sale only. The buyer now says "his friend" will come by, look at the gun, and give me my cash price.
1. Would this sale violate any federal laws? Pretty sure this would not be a straw purchase, since there is no federal form involved...??
2. I never ask the guy where he resided, but assumed it was out-of-state since we were discussing a possible shipment to his FFL. So if the actual buyer does, in fact, reside out of state, and I sell "his friend" the gun, knowing he is buying it for the other guy, am I violating the law? I would not sell to "his friend" if he did not have a valid state D/L.
I'm thoroughly confused by this scenario, and feeling uneasy about the whole transaction.
Any input appreciated.
