Shipping question

thebambam2001
Can I with a C&R licence ship a C&R Hand Gun to an other C&R licence holder in an other state? I got a no from the ATF office in Philadelphia and a yes from another agent several days later.

    Need a little help here.I sold a rifle that qualifies as a C&R relic. The buyer wants me to ship it to his work address since he is not usually home to sign for it. Question, can i ship to his work address even though the address on his license is different? I don't want to violate any rules.thanks in advance. Dave

    You must go thru an FFL do legally do this transaction. That is great though, than an uncle is thoughtful enough to do that.

    There is no registration of firearms so that is not the problem.

    The issue is an out of state transfer of a firearm. Firearms transferred out of state have to go through an FFL. There is a "shipping sticky" at the top of this page with most of this info.



    EDIT:

    On registration. IF a gun is registered to you then there is an form you would have. Then any time you moved you would have to fill out new paperwork reflecting that. You would not be able to loan or let anyone else use it. If you sold it in state you would have to find a buyer, fill out new paperwork, wait for approval before the new buyer could have it. This doe not happen on a Federal level. A couple of states do this though on some guns.

    There IS Federal registration of Title 2 firearms aka NFA items. There is a stick about NFA items in the Ask The Experts forum.

    If your nephew is under 18 yrs old you have a problem. Why not just ship it to your self??
    In care of his mom's/dads's address. No transfer. You still own the gun. When you finally get down there, you can shoot "your" gun. How in KY. is that gun "registered" to you????? Thought KY. was a "free" state??

    I filled out a 4473 when I bought it. Does that not mean it is registered to me? He is 21 years old.

    I know I'll catch some flak on this but, A 4473 is not suppose to be a "gun registered to you". IMHO it IS a backdoor way of registering guns.

    Yes, that does mean that they can trace it back to you. If any firearm turns up in a crime, they can go to the mfg. and see who it shipped to, then on down the food chain, to the first one to fill out a 4473, and depending on what information they get from that person, can trace it further. So yes, in a way it IS REGISTERED to you. Him being 21, and if he can pass the NCICS. it should not be a problem for him on the Florida end. Where the problem can start, is he wouldn't be able to pass the NCICS check.

    To make this a linear answer, you must ship the rifle to a Federal Firearms License holder in Florida to transfer to your nephew. Check first, as many FFLs will not accept a firearm from a private individual. In that case you will need to have a local FFL ship the rifle for you. IF the nephew is 21 he can fill out a 4473 with the transfer FFL where he is and receive the firearm (there will certainly be a transfer fee, you make want to check first and pay that). If he is under 21 his father will have to fill out the 4473, take possession of the rifle and then he can make his son a gift of the rifle. Best plan is to drive down that and transfer it through a local FFL and then have some seafood and birthday cake.
