Note: i'm in NJ, in case that matters.
Situation: I have a have a pistol A at my FFL waiting on my NICS check to come back. During this one of those "Can't Pass It Up" deals happened and I purchased pistol B. B will be at my FFL before my NICS completes (!!!).
Question 1: Can I sell pistol A to someone locally, have my FFL run their NICS, and the buyer takes possession from the FFL? Or do I have to take possession of pistol A first before I can sell it to someone else?
Question 2: I'm guessing on this since I have no knowledge of how the bound book works... Do firearms have to be checked though on FIFO (first in first out) or, assuming I have to take possesion of pistol A to sell it, can I get B out of my FFL first? Is there any FFL discretion involved?
Thanks!
