question on selling a long gun

[calixt0]

Hello all, still trying to understand some of the things I can and can't do in Oklahoma (as compared to California where I couldn't do anything).. I'm trying to sell a long gun.. someone from Texas claims to be in town.. can I see it to them? I don't think so but not sure.. Ok.. I'm heading down to Texas.. can someone in texas buy my long gun if I happen to be in texas?

Thanks for an info

A sale has to go from FFL to FFL to cross state lines.

You can transfer it to an FFL in TX and they can buy it that way.

Nope from seller to FFL in buyers state,so you could ship it to an FFL in texas or if you took it to Texas you could meet him at an FFL for transfer

Sell of long guns can be made through an ffl if the buyer is from a neighboring state. I.E. texas resident can buy a long gun in Oklahoma and take it back to Texas and vise versa. This is only for long guns (no handguns or "other") and only bordering states. Now finding an ffl that will actually do it is another story.

Why would it be wrong to sell a gun to a Texan...if no paperwork is filled out who cares

Well, it IS against the law. While I may not agree with all of our laws, I'm not about to willingly break them to put my future in jeopardy. I think it's important we stand above and hold ourselves to the highest standards if it is possible and... well, I just think it's a good idea, so we don't reflect poorly on the firearms community.

Kinda like the report lately about the DoJ (wasn't it?) trying to buy guns illegally online and they got turned down every time by law-abiding gun owners. Very, very nice.

I will say I know of one person who accidentally (well...) purchased a gun across state lines back a few years ago, before they knew it wasn't allowed. There was no nefarious intentions, and they have worried ever since that that gun could cause them some problems in the future if anything ever happened and it went through a thorough check of its transit from place to place and person to person. But... there is no way to "make it right" as far as I am aware - what's done is done, it just sits in their safe and weighs on their mind. Nothing like seeing good people being made "an example" to make other good people afraid of their own government for well-intentioned mistakes.

This is the world we live in.

There is a statute of limitations. Not sure exactly how long, but one lawyer thought it's around 5 years.

So what branch office of the ATF do you work for?
