    guy I work with has his ffl and was willing to receive a shotgun I am thinking of buying. He says $10 and tax, I know the $10 is a good deal but since when do they have to collect sales tax. the gun is comming from iowa to wva, is he correct?

    No, you needn't send it to an FFL dealer from a dealer. A private party can send to an FFL. That being said, I know many California FFL dealers will not accept guns shipped by private parties even though its completely legal. Also, for some reason, if a gun is being transferred to a Californian from a Californian, a California FFL will require it to come from an FFL. I don't know why this is but I know it happens here, so it very well could be happening with FFL dealers in other states as well. You should not have to use an FFL dealer to ship a gun to an FFL dealer.

    no they are not correct, unless they have some kind of store policy about it. it ends up costing you double to ship through an ffl to another ffl. there shouldnt be a problem if they read up on their ffl materials.

    I'm not an expert, but i did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.

    some dealers require it simply as a COA move.

    I could be wrong, but I believe that is CA law.

    I've run into this before. The dealer DOES have a legal requirement to know who sends him any gun; he must complete the "Received" column of his bound book, & that requires the sellers FFL OR his name & address. When I ran into this problem, I phoned the dealers & offered to mail/fax a photocopy of my drivers license; all accepted, as this gave them the information they needed.

    This is why I now add this line to my GB auctions: "Be sure that your dealer will accept shipment from a nonlicensee."

    In your case, the buyer failed to do his homework. I believe that, if additional shipping costs are incurred, he should pay them.

    That could be. Every time I've transferred a gun within CA, I've had to go FFL to FFL.

    I don't believe that is correct.

    As far as receiving from an unlicensed individual in another state, California law specifically authorizes a dealer to accept a shipment from an unlicensed individual from out of state. [Penal Code Section 12070(b)(14)]
