I'll start simple. I buy and sell guns on Gunbroker a few times per year and my practice for selling a gun has been to make sure I have a copy of the FFL cert on hand for me to verify its a valid FFL and then I'll ship the gun.
The problem is lately some FFL's don't want to fax or mail their FFL cert to an individual or won't accept a gun shipped from an individual.
Now - I sold a rifle and the FFL told me they will give me their cert # for me to look up on line but they don't want to send it to me as they are in fear the I will use it for my own purposes. So if I have the number and I only ship the gun to the address that is listed on line to the FFL isn't that the same as having the cert on hand. I mean honestly even if I have the cert in hand I still check it on line with the FFL check link I found on Gunbroker. The goal is to make sure I only ship the gun to a legitimate FFL with a current cert.
So with our electronic age, do I really need the cert on hand? Even if I have a cert on hand I still check on line to make sure its legit anyway,
I appreciate the feedback. Thanks in advance.
