Hey guys,
A good friend of mine who live in Missouri is interested in one of my firearms and I want to make sure we both do what needs to be done properly so nobody ends up in jail or anything stupid like that.
I am pretty sure I have to ship it to an FFL since it's cross state lines and the FFL will have to transfer the weapon to them. Beyond that, I have no idea what is necessary.
I would presume they will need to go into the gun shop and let them know I'm shipping it to them, then I would contact them and make sure we're all on the same page.
Would they let him fill out the 4473 before I ship it out, or would the gun have to be there for him to do it? He doesn't have anything that would preclude him from owning the weapon but I'm just not sure about how it is best handled.
Also, as far as shipping the weapon - do I need to do anything special? I won't be shipping ammunition, just the gun, it's case, and a few magazines.
Sorry for the newbish questions . Most of the information I've found here pertains to FFL and FTF transfers within the state but then again maybe I'm blind.
