I am buying a handgun from TX which will be shipped to MI.
From my understanding of the FEDERAL LAW, ANY AND ALL over-the-state-line sales have to go from the seller's FFL to the buyer's FFL...am I correct in reading the law properly or not?
Can the seller just ship the handgun through FEDEX/UPS/DHL/... straight to my MI FFL?
I called and talked to 6 FFL's in my area and they all said if the seller shipped the gun himself w/o going through an FFL at his end, none of them would accept the shipped package.
HELP! What is the RIGHT, LAWFUL way to go through this transaction? I have MO ready in an envelope to be shipped out, but have to clear up this FFL issue first... NEED TO KNOW BY NOON on Fri 3/31.
If you are from MI and have purchased a HANDGUN from TX, please chime in your procedure by which you took physical possession of the gun.
Thanx a bunch in advance.

P.S. if not already evident, I am a newbie to THR, and loving it on the learning curve though...
