Trust me, I am NOT trying to "get around the rules", or laws, in regard to interstate sales and transfers. The firearm would touch TWO FFL's. One in their state, and my receiving FFL. How can this be perceived as TRYING to get around the rules (laws)?
Maybe I misinterpreted what you were saying and what you are saying is that the seller is trying to get around some rules by selling FTF and I should wonder if that is some type of setup?
The only rule I'm trying to negotiate is the seller's rule, and what they perceive as "FTF", which is the seller's rule.
If I decide to sell another gun, I can only wish someone would offer to pay all transfer fees and shipping costs through an FFL in addition to my asking price.
