Out of state pistol sale - questions

Old thread I know but so much inaccurate info out there. For personal firearm sales in the State of Georgia, one can legally sell a firearm, handgun or longgun, to another regardless of his residency. Only thing to prevent that sale would be age and legal status, felon or not of the buyer (face to face transaction).
So many stating that a transfer is required.. That is ONLY if you are an FFL dealer. Then you have to run the gammet of Federal paperwork.
Bad info is being spread. Please research your state law before stating sales must go thru a background check for personal sales to locals or out of state residents.

I may have a spare copy of the book of regs the Feds send to FFL's if you want it. You certainly need it.
 
You can (technically) sail a handgun to an out of state buyer, but you cannot transfer it to him yourself. Has to go through FFL in his state. The previous posters gave accurate and valuable info. Pay attention to Georgia Packing posts or smart asses at your peril.
 
Federal regulations regarding the interstate commerce in firearms (and transfers) is quite clear. Postal regs are quite clear. There is no ambiguity.
