So, I've been thinking about gifting a firearm to a friend of mine in another state. Now, I know it has to go through an FFL, that's not in question.
My question is, if I find a local to me FFL to ship it to a local-to-them FFL, what's the general process? Obviously contacting both shops and arranging this is all necessary in beforehand, but say when the gun is shipped to the out of state FFL for my friend to pick up, does the gun shop take note of who is supposed to pick it up? When you have it transferred, just tell them the name of the person who is to pick it up, and from you? Just a reserve name, or...? How do they know the right person is picking it up? Probably a stupid question, but I'm curious.
I'd just gone to or called the FFL's in question on this, but I picked the wrong day to have this idea (Saturday), so I figure I'd just ask anyway.
