I have a guy sends me an im and a bunch of emails wanting to meet me for a ftf trade.
I ask him 3 times where he lives and he finally tells me, KY. I'm in TN.  I tell him we will have to ship to each others ffl, no reply back. He's a member here, but no posts in the 2 years I looked in the archive server.

Did he ask you several times if you were a police officer? Did he offer to pay in cash with no paperwork and no questions asked?

What you do is contact your local ATF branch.
Set up a sting with them. Then when the guy shows up to deal you can have one ATF branch arresting another ATF branch. Hilarity will ensue. |

If you can buy from an FFL from neighboring states, why can you not buy from a private citizen? I've never seen such a law, only that you can't do it with handguns. |

A person may loan or rent a firearm to a resident of any State for temporary use for lawful sporting purposes, if he does not know or have reasonable cause to believe the person is prohibited from receiving or possessing firearms under Federal law. A person may sell or transfer a firearm to a licensee in any State. However, a firearm other than a curio or relic may not be transferred interstate to a licensed collector. [18 U.S.C. 922(a)(3) and (5), 922(d), 27 CFR 478.29 and 478.30] (B2) From whom may an unlicensed person acquire a firearm under the GCA?

Federal law. Sorry, but that's just the way it is. You can buy rifles (or shotguns) from FFL's of neighboring states but handguns must be shipped to an FFL in your state. Rifles can't be bought in neighboring states from non-FFL's. |

Actually, you can buy a long gun anywhere in the country from an FFL as long as it is legal in your home state. As to the original subject, I had a guy in TN try to get me to do a FTF with him and when I said no, I never heard from him again. |

Correct. You CAN NOT do a FTF with someone from another state PEROID. Doesn't matter what kind of gun it is .
I was selling a weapon on GB. Had a guy want to do a FTF with me. He lived in a Indiana, me in Illinois. I informed him that it would be a fellony to do so, and a few hunderd more dollars wasn't worth a trip to jail. I said I could ship to a FFL in his state. He never got back to me.her I've always wondered if these were setups, or just dumb/uninformed people? As far as buying a long gun . You can buy one from a dealer anywhere in the country,if you are in their shop. |

Just like when your in a traffic incident, if the other party says " hey man lets not call the cops" or " hey i don't like all the mess with insurance companies" then there is something shady going on.
So when a guys says " hey man lets keep the gun stores out of it " They probably can't purchase a gun legally. I sold a gun via an add in the newspaper, my add clearly stated that the transaction would be done at the police station. I had guys ask me if their wife could buy it etc. I met one guy at the parking lot of the LEA, I said I needed a copy of his ID to turn into the LEA and he got out of there so fast the smoke from his tires could be seen a block away. All ways do your best to make sure you sell to a responsible person. The person I finally sold it to was a middle aged guy who had no problems with meeting at a LEA and also had a photo copy of his ID. |

Just to make sure it goes as plan, I'd call the state police. They will go through with a arrest regardless. |
