Funny thing I just discovered when I checked an FFL dealer in my area.Now I realize that these local dealers are not the ones I use. I use a dealer to RECEIVE the gun. However let`s suppose that I live in Nebraska,& want to ship my gun here to Franklin North Carolina. When I looked at some gun dealers here , I find that two of the 3 FFLs that Bud`s recommends are out of business!!So now, here I am in Nebraska Shipping my gun to a closed dealer in North Carolina . Bud`s gun shop Doesn't know that this North Carolina dealer is kaput. They still have him, or them as a preferred Receiver. Get My point?
