Question on Selling a Firearm

[shell70634]

How can an individual sell a handgun to an individual in another state. My specific question is if I arrange to sell a handgun to an individual in another state, may I; without aa FFL; ship my handgun to a FFL dealer of the buyers choice? Or do I need a FFL dealer here to ship it to the buyer's FFL dealer. Is the procedure different if I were to sell a long gun?

As far as the feds are concerned the answer is yes, but you can't use USPS, you need to use a common carrier such as FedEx or UPS.

No.

Same procedure, except you can use USPS to ship a long gun.

P.S. What state are you in?

Thanx WDLSGUY,

Both Fedex and UPS require that you ship handguns by their respective Overnight service. Longarms can be sent by Ground.

FedEx and UPS can be a pain to deal with. I suggest looking up their policies on the web, following them to the letter, and bringing a copy with you when you ship the firearm.
