The only evidence I have is an email, with the name and address of the receiving FFL. I didn't specify a time limit in the terms, of how long he could keep it before making a determination of returning it or purchasing it. The sole reason I let it go like this is the fact that it was a gun I...

I'm still a little confused by all the legal stuff. It doesn't seem to be a clear cut criminal case, but still could be. It could be civil, either way, with or without a criminal conviction. I hate being had, but this looks like an investment of time and money with no guarantee on a return of...

Like an ISP trace? I don't have the capability for that; it would need to be law enforcement or someone investigating a case, right?

A little backstory on this whole deal. I've got a friend I went to high school with. We both enlisted after high school, were in basic at the same time, but in different platoons. We didn't get the same assignments or jobs, so we kept in contact via social media. We both also got out after...

Would an e-mail count as a written statement, or would it need to be signed?

The "middle man" who brokered the deal is no longer in contact with the recipient, either. He feels terrible about what it's come to, even offered to help recover it, or compensate me. I did contact the FFL, the gun was transferred, and I verified the contact info. I've called him and left...

Teapot, that's unfortunately what I figured. Thanks for the quick replies, even if they don't bring me good news.

No, nothing contracted. More of a gentleman's agreement, but apparently only one gentleman in the mix.

It's worth maybe $400. I was pretty much figuring since it was a legal transfer, done voluntarily on my part, there's not much I can do, other than maybe pursue it as fraud. Reporting it as stolen probably wouldn't work either, since there's a 4473 transfer, logged in the receiving FFL bound...

Long time lurker, registered to ask a legal question. I shipped a gun out of state to a friend of a friend as a loaner. We followed the proper transfer and the receiver filled out the 4473, registered the handgun (they do have registration there). The agreement was that after he was...
