I have family in Texas interested in purchasing an AR15.
Can the sale of a long gun be done FTF (legally) without an FFL? Thanks. God Bless Texas! |
Hmm, you're from PA, I gather you're going to bring the item to Texas and sell it to your relative. Since you're not a resident I think you still have to go through a FFL, technically speaking. But what you and your relative decide to do is up to you. Someone who knows more will be coming along soon.

Quoted: The family member, a Texas resident, would be purchasing from another Texas resident (probably out of the EE - hint, hint), not me. I'm doing the research for him. If you'd like, PM me if you have a 16" M4A3 Type AR for sale. Thanks for the help. "hint, hint" seems like something illegal is in the works. |

Texas allows the FTF transfer of firearms without using an FFL.
Federal law allows a transfer between Texas residents without using an FFL Someone who is NOT a Texas resident may only purchase a long gun from a licensed firearms dealer. (no individual FTF sales to non residents). Handguns may only be purchased from or transfered by a dealer in your own state. |

Quoted:
Handguns may only be purchased from or transfered by a dealer in your own state. This could be a little misleading. It might sound like private individuals in their own state can't sell to other residents of the same state. That is not true (at least by Federal law). I think what was intended was that while you can buy a long gun from an FFL dealer in another state (for sure in neighboring states to TX), you can't buy a handgun from an FFL dealer in a distant state like PA if you are a TX resident. |
