Forgive me for my ignorance (Ive only been shooting for 2 years), but I have a few questions about FFL transfers and buying guns online....The only stores in my area that sell firearms are a small shop (with no inventory) and a Gander Mountain. As most of you know, buying a firearm at gander can be frustrating because generally their prices are very very high (for example i want a ruger p90 and right now they are selling them for $589!! yeah $589!!). So of course I look online and find the gun that I want for $200-$250 cheaper than I can get it locally and inquire about doing a transfer. They tell me "absolutely not, under no circumstances do we EVER do transfers". The local shop says the same thing, and the one local shop that recently went out of business definately useto do transfers but they are gone now. My question is... why do you have to be a dealer to be able to buy guns onlineL? Are there collector FFL's that a non dealer could aquire after paying for them and jumping through various hoops. I mean, I have a completely clean record, a gun permit, and money. Why should I not be able to buy a gun from an online dealer? They could identify me upon delivery and do a background check before the purchase. I just dont understand this.
