PPT question

[rhorn67]

Hi all - I am located in socal but continue to see postings I am interested in up north. If I was to go up north and handle the PPT via FFL would they be able to ship the gun to my local FFL for pickup? Trying to see whether I woulds be able to avoid a return trip to pick the gun up.

Thanks in advance

Sadly, no. It takes 2 trips for an "off roster" pistol

Darn it all to heck! Something told me that would be the answer.

Thank you!

Smart for checking. It would be hugely disappointing otherwise. There have been other similar posts recently where the news was not positive, but it would have been horrible to find out at the FFL what the truth was.

Sorry, as previously stated if not quite accurately. Any {PPT} firearm purchase requires 2 trips to FFL. One to start DROS and ten + days later for pickup, safety demo, etc. Even for a rifle or shotgun.

You on the other hand, could meet a seller at a FFL, inspect firearm, pay seller for same. And seller could ship the gun to a LGS- FFL for DROS and pickup. But that would NOT BE A PPT. It would be a "dealer transfer". And could not be done for an "off roster" handgun. If it is indeed an Off roster handgun you are buying. OP didn't state type of firearm.
