OK, this has to do with a form of transfer "between" States, however actually occuring in the same state. I am going to use fictitious names and create a scenario.
Joe is in Florida. Joe owns a "ban era" AR-15. Bob is a family member. Bob is from New York State. Bob drives down every couple of years. Joe would like to transfer possession of the AR to Bob by having Bob pick up the rifle while on vacation in Florida.
Here is some additional information:
Joe legally resides in Florida
Joe is not a felon
Joe legally obtained and owns that AR
Bob legally resides in New York State
Bob is not a felon
Bob can legally own firearms in his state
Bob can legally own that particular AR in New York (complies with State AWB)
Neither Joe or Bob are FFL's.
Bob is inheriting the AR-15 from Joe (although Joe is still alive). THERE IS NO EXCHANGE OF MONEY AT ALL. The AR is NOT being sold nor is the AR being shipped by a 3rd party.
***
Given the conditions and circumstances, is it legal to do this without the use of an FFL?
I've read many posts and heard lengthy debate about this process, but the conditions were never quite the same. Often time it involved shipping, or a sale, or some other condition that complicated the situation to where it legally required an FFL transfer.
Please consider these specific conditions and whether or not you think this is legal.
