Totally not wanting to break any laws here... but I would like to save some aggravation and shipping costs. I'm in Oklahoma. I own the handgun. Made in 1968... which could be important if somehow C&R comes into play. The buyer lives right along the Texas/Oklahoma border... but it is Texas and he is a Texas resident.
Now I know how the normal way works. He sends me payment and his transfer FFL information. I take the handgun to my transfer FFL, pay his fee and his costs, and he ships the handgun to the Texas FFL through the USPS.
But... couple possible exceptions? If I have a C&R, and I do, and he has a C&R (not sure yet), and the handgun is C&R... can I just drive somewhere to meet him and sell him the handgun without any other "constraining authority?"
Or... I'm not sure about this... at all.. that's why I'm here to ask... can I drive to north Texas to a big gun store that does transfers, transfer the handgun to the gun store FFL right there in person, and then he transfers it to my buyer? At least that eliminates one FFL holder and the shipment and the fear of loss or damage in shipment. But I really don't want to break any laws. And I don't want to drive all the way to Texas to have the transfer dealer there tell me he can't do it!
Thanks,
