I've got 5 or so older 22s and shotguns that aren't worth much, and would like to sell them. They really aren't worth the extra trouble of going through a FFL. I know I can do a FTF transfer, but can I legally mail a rifle to another Virginia resident within the state? The only answers I could find were on on the Pennsylvania Firearm Owners Association, where the discussion said there was no issue with it, but thats a Pennsylvania forum.
I appreciate you guys answers, but please back up whatever you state with some kind of documentation or point me to where I can find it. Just saying its legal or illegal doesn't really help me. |

It's perfectly legal. There is no document that says something is legal. It's only the LACK of laws making something illegal that makes it legal. That's like asking someone for a document that says its legal to wear a green shirt on Sundays. Thanks, the documentation line was more for people who wanted to tell me I would go to prison. Is there a decent Virginia sales forum? The guns I am looking to get rid of aren't really Ar15.com quality, they just take up precious space in my gun safe. |

MUST GO THROUGH A DEALER. USC 18 922 A (3) He is talking about doing an intra state transfer not an inter state transfer.  (i.e. mailing a rifle from one side of Va. to the other side of Va. not mailing a rifle from Va. to WV ) There is no limit on how far away you can do a FTF transfer, as long as you remain in the same state, unless of course your state didn't allow them, this is not the case though.
Jeremy ETA: I think that you can use the USPS or other common carriers for long guns as long as you tell them it is a firearm. It does not require, nor is it recommended, to label the package in anyway stating that the package contains a firearm. Definitely double check that though with whatever carrier (if any) you decide to use. |
