selling a long gun

[Wes B]

What do you need to do to sell a long gun to someone in another state?

If they have an FFL and you do not can you send it to them or do you have to send through an FFL?

Edit:

Yes, I read the sicky above. I am just asking if anyone sells / ships to an FFL without going through an FFL. I haven't sold a gun before and am paranoid about issues with ATF.

So, when you sell your guns do you send through an FFL even if the buyer holds an FFL?

Did you read this in the "shipping firearms" sticky?

Be aware that some dealers refuse to accept shipments from nonlicensees as their personal business policy. Usually this is because they are terrified that the package will arrive with an RPG inside and no information as to who shipped it. Although it is not required by law, it is common courtesy to include a copy of your drivers license (for nonlicensees) or a copy of your FFL (for dealers). Dealers are required to record the identity of the person from they received the firearm from.....and a DL or FFL makes this easy. If you refuse to comply with the request for a DL or FFL.....then don't ship the gun. As evidenced by recent threads, the dealer may refuse to accept the package or delay the transfer to the buyer until he has the documents he requested.

As long as you ship to a licensed dealer, ATF will be happy. ATF does not give a rats hiney if you use a dealer at your end.
Federal law allows ANYONE to ship a firearm.....but be sure the buyers dealer is willing to accept a shipment from a nonlicensee.
