There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding on
this subject, a lot of incomplete and incorrect information going
around. So here are the exact requirements and regulations. These
are Federal requirements -- New York State Residents have
additional requirements. |

How Can I Sell a Gun to Someone In
Another State? |
|
|
|
A very popular phrase in the firearms ads is
"My FFL to yours." While that certainly would work, only one FFL
holder is required, one in the state of destination.
Federal: A
person may sell a firearm to an unlicensed resident of his State, if
the buyer is not prohibited by law from receiving or possessing a
firearm, or to a licensee in any State. A firearm other than a curio
or relic may not be transferred interstate to a licensed collector.
New York State Residents:
All sales of firearms in New York State must
go through an FFL. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Federal: Only one
FFL holder is needed, in the state you are sending it to.
So if an individual in one state wants to sell
a gun to an individual in another state, the seller is not required
by law to find an FFL holder. Only the buyer must find one.
New York State Residents:
Handguns must be shipped FFL to FFL. New York
State Dealers are required to give the seller a receipt which
indicates they no longer are in possession of their handgun. This
document is required to remove the hand gun from your pistol permit. |
|
|
|
New Yorkers, here are the steps to sell
your shotgun or rifle:
- The seller, for their protection,
needs to verify the receiver is a licensed dealer and to ask for
the receiver's FFL Number.
- The seller should then go to this
website to verify the license and address: ATF FFL Ez Check
Site.
- They should print the screen they get.
- They can then legally ship the gun to
the receiver, but only at the address verified at the Ez Check
Site.
- The buyer will then go to the
receiver's place of business, fill out the forms and pass the
background check.
New Yorkers, here are the steps to sell
your handgun:
- Bring your handgun to a NYS Dealer in
Firearms.
- Give the Dealer your buyer's contact
information.
- After your dealer receives your
handgun, take the receipt of handgun paperwork to your county
clerk. This is required to remove your handgun from your pistol
permit.

May I lawfully ship a firearm
directly to an out-of-State FFL, or must I have an FFL in my State
ship it? |
|
|
|
Any person may ship firearms directly to a
licensee in any State, with no requirement for another licensee to
ship the firearm. However, handguns are
not mail able through the United States Postal Service and must be
shipped via FEDEX or UPS (18 U.S.C. §§
1715). With regards to handguns, both
FEDEX and UPS require next day shipping and the receiver must be an
adult. |

|
May an FFL return a firearm to me,
even if the shipment is across State lines? |
|
|
|
Firearms shipped to FFLs for repair or any
other lawful purpose may be returned to the person from whom
received without transferring the firearm through an FFL in the
recipient’s State of residence. FFLs may also return a replacement
firearm of the same kind and type to the person from whom received.
18 U.S.C. § 922(a)(2)(A). |

CYA - Cover Your Ass: |
|
|
|
Two important items here.
1. New Yorker's, if someone in New York
wants to buy your firearm, you can not just sell or mail it to them;
NYS SAFE Act.
2. To ship to a different state, the
recipient must be an FFL holder (as previously noted).
As a reminder, you can mail a rifle or
shotgun, but not a handgun.
A great way to CYA would be to use an
FFL holder for any transfer. |
