    Good question, I would be interested in the answer myself. You could stand at the Id border, and the Wa guy right next to you and exchange info, cash and item and call it a day.

    I was in a similar deal, met the guy in Colfax, could not come to terms, so we parted ways. The deal never happened, but now, your question has me wondering.

    ID is one of the States like callie, that you can't buy a long gun from a out of State FFL, let alone a handgun.

    Legally you are supposed to have it shipped to a 01 FFL in ID.

    Just to save yourself some trouble, and potentially $1000.00's of lawyers fees, and possibly your 2nd Ammendment rights, I would have it shipped to an 01 FFL, near where you live, that does transfer's.

    Potentially, you might even save more on the long run, in gas money, unless youhave a scheduled trip out there for other reasons. In no circumstances, do not do a FTF, for a handgun.

    I don't understand. Face to face transfers are completely legal where I'm from. This kind of BS parental legislation. You better do as they tell you or you'll get a spanking and put in time out.

    Face to face transfers are legal in most states if both buyer and seller are residents of the same state. Face to face is not the point. Residency is what is important. People with C & R licenses have some extra rights in selling but I am not qualified to comment on that. This forum is not a good place to obtain legal advice. Bad advice, if followed and you get caught can result in your getting a felony conviction.

    They might be IN STATE, but not across state lines [xx(]
    We have the same situation here as WV is a quarter mile from me [^]

    Or, if the seller is close enough that he wants to drive to your dealer's place of business for the transfer, that would be legal. You just need to get approval of your dealer in advance.

    At least where you live pietro there are plenty of ffl's. Only legal way to do it is have him mail gun to your ffl if its a longgun he can mail it..if handgun he has to UPS it or get a ffl in WA to mail it to your ffl.

    The easiest way is do like neal said and have him drive the whole ten miles to Post Falls lol. If the seller is in Spokane thats is...maybe float him some gas money if its a big deal.

    This is not a "state specific" issue. It is addressed in Federal law, under 18 USC 922. If you are not a FFL holder, you may NOT acquire a firearm directly from an unlicensed resident of another state. To transfer ownership of a firearm across a state line, with the exception of inherited firearms, the firearm must pass TO the holder of a FFL in the home state of the recipient. This goes back to the 1968 Gun Control Act.

    As far as getting spanked, being prosecuted by the ATF for a Federal felony goes beyond my definition of spanking.

    The holder of an 03 Curio & Relics FFL is a FFL holder. They may acquire a C&R firearm in any state, with the exception of a few states that limit that (CA, NJ, NY come to mind.)

    Before you believe all this well intentioned ignorance, you might want to see what the Washington law on the subject is. Look up Revised Code of Washington (RCW) Chapter 9.41.124 Purchasing by non-residents. I'd cut&past it here, but that's beyond my internet capabilities.

    RCW 9.41.124
    Purchasing by nonresidents.
    Residents of a state other than Washington may purchase rifles and shotguns in Washington: PROVIDED, That such residents conform to the applicable provisions of the federal Gun Control Act of 1968, Title IV, Pub. L. 90-351 as administered by the United States secretary of the treasury: AND PROVIDED FURTHER, That such residents are eligible to purchase or possess such weapons in Washington and in the state in which such persons reside.

    He lives in Idaho, not Washington. It don't mean squat, what the Washington regs are.
