Preban transfer near Springfield

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Preban transfer near Springfield

Posted: 6/9/2017 3:02:09 PM EDT

I have a buddy living in Chicopee and he wants to buy a preban Glock from me. Any shops around the area that will transfer for him? Also, do they require a letter or just go off of the Glock project serials?

Thanks,

John

Guns and Gear in Agawam will do it. There are a couple of shops in the Springfield/West Springfield area. Call in advance, they should be able to do it off of serial number.

Will you be doing it in person, or ffl to ffl?

Fed Law prohibits FTF for 2 people who don't live in the same state.

I'm sure that you meant would the 2 parties show up at a MA FFL, but for others reading that don't understand the laws I decided to clarify in the prior sentence.

Thanks for the replies guys. Yeah, I'd probably just ship it to him or possibly meet him at gun a shop. I should be covered under FOPA to meet him at an FFL.

No you are NOT covered by FOPA. FOPA only covers someone when their next stop is a place they would be legal to possess a gun. MA doesn't allow anyone w/o a LTC (other than LEOs carrying under LEOSA) to possess a handgun in MA. The MA person could meet you at the border and take possession on the way to a MA FFL.

Is it legal to bring in a pistol from out of state and transfer it in MA? I didn't think it was

As long as it is legal to own in MA, yes. As long as you either do it at a MA ffl, or transfer it to a MA ffl from an out of state ffl.

I was under this impression as well.

Wouldn't bringing it to an FFL an giving it to them be a legal final destination?
