FFL required....baraco01 wrote:I have a question regarding private sales.
A gentleman from NM is interested in a friend's shotgun. My friend lives in Tx. The prospective buyer is going to pick up the shotgun in Texas.
Can my friend sell it directly to the buyer or do they have to go through a Ffl and do the transfer?
Thanks.

Q: From whom may an unlicensed person acquire a firearm under the GCA?
A person may only acquire a firearm within the person’s own State, except that he or she may purchase or otherwise acquire a rifle or shotgun, in person, at a licensee’s premises in any State, provided the sale complies with State laws applicable in the State of sale and the State where the purchaser resides. A person may borrow or rent a firearm in any State for temporary use for lawful sporting purposes.
