I know that a resident of one state cannot sell a firearm to a resident of another state, my question is, is a gift of a firearm from a resident one one state to a resident of another state also prohibited? Thanks
Best to go FFL to FFL. So, if you are giving a firearm to someone in another state, you can take the handgun (assuming that is what you are referring to) to your local gun shop, and have them ship it to an FFL in the recipient's state. Then the recipient can do the 4473 at their FFL's shop, and receive the firearm. I've been researching since I'm doing some state to state transfers.
I'm curious - why do you think FFL to FFL is necessary? The legal requirement is that the transfer go through an FFL in the purchasers State of residence. The seller has no requirement to ship from an FFL in his State.
I know that some FFLs ask for that a weapon Coke from an FFL but that is really a matter of their personal comfort not a requirement of the law.
