handgun sale question
« on: October 14, 2014, 07:46:53 PM »
A personal sale, not business.  If the other party lived in an adjacent state and has a permit to carry concealed, what is required?  Nebraska for me, Iowa for friend.

You have to transfer it through an FFL in his state.

What he said.

Any interstate transfer of a firearm must be done via FFL.
It is highly likely the above post may offend you. I'm fine with that.

Handguns are special, for whatever idiotic reason.

If it were a long gun, the buyer could be from another state and an FFL wouldn't be required. You could make the sale face-to-face.

That's my understanding and I'm wrong a lot, so someone correct me, please.

Nope

ANYTIME a firearm transfer crosses a state line, an FFL's participation is required on at least ONE end.

private face to face sales are only legal between residents of the SAME state.
