Might be picking up quite a few used handguns from an individual down there.
Trying to find an FFL that is gtg and reasonable (not raping on transfer handling fees)
Does the FL Hometown crew have any recommendations?

Thanks fellas

I only use Rightful Liberty in Miami. $15 transfer plus the $5 background. They are very good people. They could charge more and I'd still use them.

+1. Use them all the all time for incoming transfers.

However, where you looking for a Miami-area FFL to ship them out of state to your local FFL?

Why do you need the FFL to ship the guns?

Why can't the seller just ship the guns to your FFL?

A FFL is not needed to ship a firearm to a FFL except when sending a handgun by US Mail.

From the ATF web site...

6.  May I lawfully  ship  a  firearm  directly  to  an  out-of-State  licensee,  or  must  I  have a licensee  in  my  State  ship  it to  him?    May the licensee return  the firearm  to  me,  even  if the  shipment  is  across  State  lines?


Any person  may  ship  firearms  directly  to  a licensee in  any  State, with no requirement  for  another licensee  to ship the  firearm.  However, handguns  and  other  concealable  firearms  are  not mailable through the  United States  Postal  Service  and must  be  shipped via  private  common or  contract carrier  (18 U.S.C.    1715).   The  USPS  and private  common or  contract  carriers  may  also have additional  restrictions  on firearms  shipments  by  unlicensed persons.   Firearms  shipped to FFLs for  repair  or  any  other  lawful  purpose  may  be  returned to the  person  from  whom  received without  transferring  the  firearm  through  an  FFL  in  the recipient's  State of  residence.   FFLs  may also  return  a  replacement  firearm  of  the same kind  and  type to  the person  from  whom  received (18 U.S.C.  922(a)(2)(A)).    An ATF  Form  4473 is  required for  the  return  of  the  firearm,  except in  instances  when  a  firearm  is  delivered  to  a licensee for  the sole purpose of  repair  or customizing,  and the  same  firearm  or  a  replacement  firearm  is  returned to the  person from  whom received  (27 CFR    478.124(a)).

Cool. I would love for him to ship it directly, rather than me having to pay a dealer for handling fees. This language should help a lot.

Many thanks!

Glad I was helpful.

I've shipped firearms before and I can say that as long as the shipping location is familiar with the rules, it goes without a hassle.  I've had cases where the were not familiar with the rules so they say they can't do it or make up stupid new rules.  Escalating the situation seems to resolve it when a supervisor gets involved.

I happen to prefer USPS when it is something they will ship because of the substantially lower insurance cost, especially if you send it registered mail.  Just have a copy of the rules handy and any forms you might need as they won't have the forms handy.
