So that doing a private party transfer is illegal?
Nope - handguns need to go through an FFL with both private parties. If you mean accepting a transfer from an out-of-state unknown, yes, I think that requires an FFL to FFL transfer. |

I have had several private party ship direct to my local FFL. No issues. The FFL receiving needs a copy of senders' ID; a state issues drivers' license or military ID. That is all. And this is for long guns, and short ones. |

If you mean accepting a transfer from an out-of-state unknown, yes, I think that requires an FFL to FFL transfer. No to both questions. My FFL has received both long and short guns from a non-ffl holder. I have also shipped as a private individual to a FFL. No Federal law prohibits such shipping, It is up to the individual FFL weather he(or she) will accept from a non-ffl. Roy |

There are no Federal or CA laws that mandate that a firearm must be shipped by a FFL dealer.
It is up to the individual FFL on if they will accept a firearm shipment from an individual or from FFLs only. |

I accept tansfers from non dealers all the time.
Hell it's easyer untill there is a problem. Most of the time it goes super smooth. Once in a while, the buyer is prohibited.. then you have problems. You cant send the gun back to the shipper becasue he isnt an FFL. In almost ten years behind the counter... I have had maybe 5 transfers not go so well. |

Hell, when you say 'up here', I'd expect you to be talking about NorCal.
Good luck down there.  |

I guess Antilope Valley feels like "up here" from the LA basin ;) |

Help me out on this one, The shipper is still the owner if the buyer is prohibited, yes? I have shipped firearms for repair or refinish and they are shipped back to me directly(non-ffl). Why can't you ship it back to the seller? Roy |

Because it is not a repair.
The only time an FFL can ship directly to an individual is when it is a gunsmith returning a firearm to the owner. I actually keep a seperate book for gunsmithing to make a clear distinction between them. |
