Yes, if you're only talking about intra-state... then you go by the state's laws. But if it's inter-state... you go by the Fed's laws, which says that it must be transferred thru an FFL.RatDrall said:The guys who work at the local shop were arguing that it is Federal Law that all handguns have to be transferred through an FFL, while I asserted that it varies state by state.

Armoredman said:Actually, not ALWAYS true interstate, as well, one important exception. I send a handgun in for work to the manufacturer, they may send it back to me directly via overnight express. Just had that happen with my Tuarus, shipped by me from UPS hub to FL, and back to me from FL to AZ via FedEx. Not one FFL in my state was involved, and it's legal as church on whatever day of the week you wish.
This site is not correct for IL. It states face to face is "legal for long guns only elsewhere". Not correct. IL allows face to face without FFL transfer for handguns and long guns. The seller is required to confirm the buyer has a state issued FOID card and to keep record of the transaction for 10 years. No FFL involvement is needed.
