I had a guy respond to an ad I had for a rifle. He is in Austin and I'm in Dallas. He wanted to have a friend pay for and pick up the rifle since his friend is often in the Dallas area. I know that would be a no-no on a new gun purchase, but wasn't sure what to think on a person-to-person (well, a person-to-person's friend) sale.
Is this lawful? I know I can ship a long gun to another Texas resident, so maybe this isn't any different? And I'm not sure if the payment being handed over by the friend changes anything.
Does anyone know for sure? I know most of us here aren't lawyers, but I was hoping someone could point me to a Texas state law that might apply.
