Would it be legal for a C&R license holder to purchase a C&R firearm, and then transfer it to ANOTHER C&R license holder? I ask because I'm interested in a firearm, but the dealer doesn't have my C&R FFL on file yet. Was wondering the legality issues of finding C&R license holder that has their FFL on file with this dealer, and then transferring it to me. (convoluted, yes, but just wondering on the legalities). I'm not trying to circumvent anything except the item being sold-out by the time I get my FFL on file with the dealer. This is what I get for just sitting on my C&R license after getting it.

| What you describe would still be a Straw Purchase and so both the dealer and the 03 ffl would be risking their licenses if caught. The key thing about an 03 ffl is that buying to resell is prohibited. You can sell your collection as incidental sales, but buying a gun specifically to resell is a no-no. Best bet is to just get your license to the dealer. Almost all will hold something for you until it gets there. |
