I sold a revover, through the forum, and when I went to a gunshop in my area, the guy says he has to hold the gun 30 days and log it into HIS book, before he can ship it to another FFL. Is that true? Because I have shipped handguns before (it has been about a year, and through a different dealer)and have never been told that. I always thought that the dealer was only acting as a "shipping agent" to conform with the requirements of the law.
Any comments?
 
One comment on that though. Some FFLs will not accept a transfer directly from an individual. They want it from another FFL which is a load of bull but its thier rules, I'll go somewhere else.

I thought it sounded bogus.

Thanks, IAMKRIS, I had hoped that I could ship direct to the receiving FFL, but he will only take transfers from other FFLs. Like Tarply says, that is BS too, but I was willing to accomodate the buyer, even though it cost me a few bucks. I'm going to find another dealer. Hope this guy appreceiates what this cost him, I had planned to pick up a very nice used model 19 from him, and had purchased two or three other guns there in the past six months. No more.
 
Greeting's All-

Mr. Slack I don't believe this FFL holder is telling you
the truth. He should handle the transfer for you with
NO problems. I can't find that type info anywhere in
the Gun Control Law's! Maybe some city, county, or
state ordance on the 30 day wait; but its not covered
by Federal Law.

*FootNote- a N.C.I.C. record check (for stolen) only
takes a few minute's; add to that a couple of extra
minutes to log the weapon in question in and out
of a dealer's log book, and at the maximum, a FFL
has spent about 5 minutes. * The extra minute is
for him to scratch his head and ---; wondering what
to do!

At least in NYS it's required by law. FFLs can't accept guns from non-licensees.
 
I THINK that he has to log it through his book as a straight through transfer, but I'm certain that there is absolutely NO requirement that he hold the gun for 30 days.

I've bought several firearms via individuals from other states who have simply taken the gun to their FFL dealer, and 3 or 4 days later it shows up at my FFL dealer.
