I just had a simple question -
Does anyone know if FFL's are required to own the guns that they sell (for example, the guns that they advertise on Gunbroker.com)?
Perhaps another way to put the question - Is it SOP for an FFL to work with firearms wholesale houses as a quasi-representative and advertise/sell for those firm on Internet gun sale sites? The wholesaler would provide the FFL with a constantly updated list of firearms available and when the FFL advertised and sold one of the firearms, he would just make a call to the wholesaler to send the firearm to his address prior to shipping it to the winning bidder.
Does this sound reasonable or do FFL's selling on the Internet need to first purchase the firearm, take possession of it and then advertise and sell it on the Internet?
Forgive my lack of knowledge and thanks!
