Out of state sale.

[GAGunguy]

I have an old friend that moved from RI to FL and has recently gotten into firearms and shooting.

I went to visit him, and I took an AK for him to try. He like it and want to buy it from me. I told him we need to do a 4473 transfer. He went to his local gun store and they told him its not necessary.

My understanding is that out of state sales require a 4473 transfer, but all the places in FL are telling him he doesn't need any paperwork.

Am I missing something?

If I drive to FL and we go to a FFL dealer, can we both walk in and do the transfer, or do I need to ship it to him? Is there something I am missing?

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't need to because it's a rifle. I just did a transfer with a guy from South Carolina on a handgun. He brought it to a Ga. LGS and they transferred to me while I was with him.

Private sale across state lines is ok because its a rifle? I thought private sales were only allowed in state, but not across state lines, regardless of rifle vs pistol.

Juist for handguns.

I went to buy a rifle in Montana during a trip. They sold me a rifle on the spot. I carried it home. I’ve bought pistols while I was traveling. They required them to be shipped to an FFL where I completed a 4473.

But as usual. Don’t come here for legal advice.

So if I sell my brother a rifle and he lives in Florida, I can just mail it to him??? I am pretty sure I need to ship it to an FFL for transfer to him.

Rifle - yes you can ship it. Pistol. No. Needs to go through an FFL.

If I drive to FL and we go to a FFL dealer and he fills out a 4473 to pick it up, can we both walk in and do the transfer, or do I need to ship it to him? Is there something I am missing?

Thanks.

You can ship it to a FFL in his state and he fills out a 4473 to pick it up, or you can drive it down and yes complete the sale/transfer with a form 4473.
