[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 941874, member: 796"] Here is your official answer: Q: To whom may an unlicensed person transfer firearms under the GCA? A person may sell a firearm to an unlicensed resident of his State, if he does not know or have reasonable cause to believe the person is prohibited from receiving or possessing firearms under Federal law. [url]http://www.atf.gov/firearms/faq/unlicensed-persons.html#gca-unlicensed-transfer[/url] I used to shoot skeet with the mid-Atlantic regional ATF director. Private sales across state lines are a felony, even if it is your twin brother. Period. He said they figure that and strawman sales are the most common violations of the code, and they prosecute if they catch you. Probalby 1 chance in 300 statistically of being caught, near 100% conviction rate if they do. ATF does stings at gun shows when they figure the illegal sales are getting out of hand. They and CA authorities arrested over 200 in one weekend from a Reno show as they crossed back into CA. :eek2: IMHO advising anyone to commit a Federal felony in the hope of not being caught ranks right up there with "hold my beer and watch this.":loser: [/QUOTE]
