Quoted:
Basically, I'm trying to buy a lower from wherever I can get it, preferably in Florida so I don't have to go through a FFL. I'm legally allowed to own it, no felonies, old enough, etc. And from what I've learned, buying it in-state from an individual is a lot less of a hassle. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone who's selling a lower receiver in-state. I thought about buying it from this website: http://www.impactguns.com/store/892756002687.html
But that site doesn't give details as to whether it needs to be shipped to a FFL or not, which is why it's kind of sketchy. So maybe stopping by a gunshow isn't such a bad idea. But it would be really convenient just to have it delivered to my home.
What all details do you need? Try not to seem too angry, there's a first time for everything, and this is mine.
That company is located in Utah, so they would have to ship to a FFL. In fact, being a dealer, they would
have to ship to a FFL even if they were located in your state.
If you click on "how to order" you will see this:
We will not ship firearms directly to you. They will be sent to your local FFL (Federal Firearms License) Dealer, who will then perform any background checks and paperwork required in your state/locality. We do not ship firearms to non-FFL holders. This is federal law. It is your responsibility to contact the FFL Dealer to make sure of their policies, procedures, and any applicable fees they might charge.
In this context a lower is considered a firearm.
