I do not want to break the law so here goes.....
I have a friend who lives out of state. I plan on driving over to see him and his family soon. He has a pistol he is willing to part with. The plan is that at the end of my visit, I would take the pistol, bring it home and have it transferred with my FFL. Keep in mind that during transit, I consider the pistol still his as I have not paid him for it yet. After the transfer, I will send him the money as soon as I get it. We both agree on the money part of this and he has no problem with it at all.
Basically, this avoids the $25-30 Fed Ex shipping cost. Would I be considered the carrier in this case? If not lawful, I can just have him send it at a later date to my FFL but would like to pick it up while I am there. Opinions please. Thanks, Splat.
