Shipping Laws in Pa?

[ulflyer]

Had wanted to purchase a handgun from a PA resident to be sent to my FFL in NC and he was told by a local gun dealer that it was illegal for him to ship out of state to a FFL dealer. Doesn't sound right to me. How about it PA folks?

Sounds like that dealer was trying to drum up business for himself unless they were talking about shipping by USPS.

What a crock!!!

The PA FFL can most certainly ship to your NC FFL - sheesh!!

What is he - thick - or just hogging local business - or maybe just too darned lazy!

OK ulflyer. I have done my home work & i can ship to your FFL.

All i need you to do is get the paperwork from the FFL & send it to me with payment. Once i verify the FFL # on https://www.atfonline.gov/fflezcheck/
I will ship it overnight to you FFL.

Would you be willing to pay $245 shipped ??

Awaiting response. Prefer you PM in return rather than on this forum.

Apparently not uncommon in this state, since every single FFL except one within driving distance of Butler told me the same thing. They won't accept shipments from non-FFLs, either. And the one that will is dirt slow with transactions because she's got a day job.

I, too, have had this fight with several FFL's in the Pittsbugh area. I went so far as to write to the DC office of the ATF and obtained a written response from them stating it was OK for a private citizen to ship a firearm to an FFL. No one wanted to see that letter . If you are local to the Pittsburgh area, call Ron @ Eagle Tactical. He will accept shipment from privates, and is a darn good guy to deal with. He can be found at http://www.eagletactical.com/
