I'm looking for a ffl in the LV area that will transfer a long gun from a out of state private party. The ones i've called will only accept transfers from another ffl. Any suggestions? Steve |

Glen at Bargain Pawn is the only FFL you should use. He is a straight shooter and doesn't play all these " I have an FFL therefore you must bow before me and prove your worth before I'll consider allowing you to pay me to do a transfer" crap. Just shoot him an email at [email protected]. He answers quickly. I've done about 10 transfers through him and never once actually picked up the phone and called him. |
Nope.....wrong there too. A FFL can accept delivery from anyone. State law is the only thing that may change that, but NV does not regulate it. |
I think RDP may be right as to it being a state thing, however I have not found an FFL who will receive a Handgun from a out of state private party. Shipping Firearms Firearms may not be mailed or shipped interstate from one non-FFL to another non-FFL. Personally owned rifles and shotguns may be mailed or shipped to an FFL in any state for any lawful purpose, including sale, repair, or customizing. An FFL may ship a firearm or replacement firearm of the same kind and type to a person from whom it was received. Under U.S. Postal regulations, handguns may be sent via the Postal Service only from one FFL to another FFL, or between authorized government officials. A person may ship a rifle or shotgun to himself, in care of a person who lives in another state, for purposes of hunting. Firearms or ammunition delivered to a common carrier for shipment must be accompanied by a written notice to the carrier of the contents of the shipment. NRA (B7) May a nonlicensee ship a firearm through the U.S. Postal Service?[Back] A nonlicensee may not transfer a firearm to a non-licensed resident of another State. A nonlicensee may mail a shotgun or rifle to a resident of his or her own State or to a licensee in any State. The Postal Service recommends that long guns be sent by registered mail and that no marking of any kind which would indicate the nature of the contents be placed on the outside of any parcel containing firearms. Handguns are not mailable. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun. [18 U.S.C. 1715, 922(a)(3), 922(a)(5) and 922 (a)(2)(A)] (B8) May a nonlicensee ship a firearm by common or contract carrier? [Back] A nonlicensee may ship a firearm by a common or contract carrier to a resident of his or her own State or to a licensee in any State. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun. In addition, Federal law requires that the carrier be notified that the shipment contains a firearm and prohibits common or contract carriers from requiring or causing any label to be placed on any package indicating that it contains a firearm.

Unfortunately, I have sold some handguns. For me, I have yet to run into that problem. I know Mass. had some stupid regs for me selling a gun to someone there. Ended up only selling one, instead of two, because proving it was Mass ban-compliant was a pain in the butt!! HK was easy since it has date codes. I don't know why FFLs would be so worried about receiving a gun from a private party. I have never had anyone question where it was coming from. |
Just as an update, Pawn place told me no way. It had to be from ffl to ffl.....it was federal law Bargain pawn never answered my emails or returned my phone calls. Don't know what happened there. I ended up doing the transfer through LV gun range on blue diamond. Not sure what kind of reputation the place has, but he was the first guy that didn't gimme some bullsh*t about ffl to ffl only. Some guy named Mike over there treated me pretty good. Steve |
Did the guy Mike at the gun shop have one of these in his hands when he greeted you?   |
Them's is suppressor fixers right? |
Yippers. The one on the left (with the writing on the handle) is the one that was used to "fix" Gunbert's can.
