| I've been told by a member here that in-state (Texas) sales of long guns can simply be shipped to the buyer (a Texan), without need of an FFL transfer. Is this true? |
As long as the weapon being sold does not cross a State boundary, private sales between individuals is not regulated by the federal government. At this point - it is up to the State regulations, and the shipper/carrier rules. My understanding the last time I researched it, for example - if someone is selling a rifle in Houston, and I buy it - they can box it up and ship it directly to me in Dallas, without issue. You should find a carrier that will ship a weapon between individuals.... but barring that, should not be a problem. In fact - I believe handguns are the same way.... but I dont know which carriers will ship a handgun that isnt being shipped to or from a FFL. |
Oh - and they cant just be shipped TO a Texan - they must be shipped to a Texan IN Texas. If the Texan happens to be living in Kansas at the moment.... no - you cannot ship it. |
