I sold a rifle over the Internet to a buyer who lives in California. He paid by M.O., which arrived several days ago. Today, his dealer's FFL arrived, along with a cover letter stating that I MUST include my FFL when shipping the rifle. I am not a licensed dealer.
I know that federal law permits a nonlicensee such as myself to ship a firearm to a licensee in another state. Is there some specific requirement in California state law that requires the sender to be a licensed dealer? I know that some Kali dealers as a matter of their own policy refuse to accept transfers from out of state nonlicensees, but is there any actual legal requirement?
What I'm really asking is, will I be breaking any California law by shipping this rifle to the California dealer?
