The only people you can ship a non-antique firearm to anyone out of your state is an FFL licensee, or yourself.I live in California and have a C&R license. I want to sell my buddy in Maryland a gun. Either an SKS Yugo M59 or a K31.
Do I need to send it to a FFL1 holder or can I send it straight to him (he does not have a C&R)? Can I hand-carry it to him and do a FTF transfer? Is there a list of "regulated" firearms for Maryland?
I have always planned to send it to a FFL that will transfer to him, but if it can be done easier and is legal, I would like to save my friend the transfer fees.
Thanks.
I don't think you can carry to MD and then sell it to him, but I am not positive on that.
There is a list of regulated firearms in MD here and there are banned "assault pistols" list here (scroll down to the list), but I can tell you right now that neither the K31 nor the M59 are on either list and are not regulated or banned.
Depending on what part of Maryland you live in, if you are not allowed to transfer the long guns to him while in MD without going through an FFL, then I would be willing to bet that if you both went to a decent FFL dealer and asked him to do the transfer right there, then he would discount his transfer fee.
If he lives near Annapolis, then I suggest The Armory just outside of the city limits. He is a very fair man.
But hey, if you want to do it the cheapest way, then tell your friend to pay thrity dollars for the C&R license and send it to him in the mail. You would save money and he would have the license to boot.
