I am being told by one particular FFL that I can't legally buy or sell ANY firearm, period, without running it through an FFL . This isn't correct is it?
Depends on your State or local regulations. It isn't correct as far as the Federal laws go.
One advantage of a C&R license is that it let's you legally buy C&R eligible firearms in any State without having to have them shipped to your local FFL.
If you never travel out of your State and/or don't mind paying the fees to bring a gun in, the FFL03 may be a waste of your time. (Except for the discounts a number of mail order businesses give.)
