So I sell a gun on Gunbroker. I am not an FFL and stated so in my Gunbroker ad. Like I did in the past, I obtained a copy of his FFL's license directly from the FFL, matched it up on the ATF's EZ Check, confirmed everything and sent the gun via FEDEX priority overnight directly to the FFL.
This morning the FFL calls me and tells me that he is PROHIBITED by ATF regulations from accepting the transfer. Not that he doesn't want to deal with a non FFL but he is specifically prohibited from accepting a gun from a non FFL.
I even put a copy of my drivers license and my concealed weapons license in with the gun, but he says no way. He tells me that he checked with the ATF and there is no way around it.
So he's sending the gun back to me and wants me to go to my FFL to handle the transfer. Needless to say this is causing extra expense for the person who bought the gun from me.
I couldn't find anything on the ATF website about this. Is there a Wisconsin law prohibiting the transfer from a non FFL?
I think he's full of it. So, what do the experts say here? Is he correct or full of poop?
Thanks everyone.
