I live in NC, and want to give a handgun to my brother in MD. He has several already that he bought in his home state of MD over the last 15 or so years. He asked a local FFL how to do the transfer, and the FFL told him I should ship him the pistol, and he'd do the transfer, and hold it the required 7 (or maybe 10) days. Then my brother should just come in, pay the fee, and pick it up. (He has a valid purchase permit already). So far, so good.
Then after mentioning to the dealer that I make several trips a year to his city, the FFL said in that case I should just bring it to him (the FFL) and my brother and myself would meet there to do the paperwork (I guess the 4471) and the dealer then holds it for the waiting period.
Although I've never heard a dealer tell somebody they can do it this way, I don't see anything wrong with it. Does anyone else? I'll ship it if I need to, but it would be nice to hand carry it and make a nice visit out of it.
