FFL's receiving from out of state individual?

[hemiallen]

I have asked both of my local stores if they are willing to receive a type 1 firearm ( long gun) from an out of state individual, and both said no.

If it indeed is ok for an individual to ship to a Cal FFL, anyone know who , around Stockton, is willing to receive from an individual?

Thanks

It is perfectly legal to have an individual from out of state ship firearms to a licensed 01 FFL. For some stupid reason, FFLs want it to come from another FFL. I have no idea why. Good luck finding one.

The reason that FFLs want to receive a firearm from another FFL instead of a private party is that it is easier to log and easier to deal with. If there is a problem with the firearm, it can be shipped back. There is also making sure that the private party does what they need to.

It also does not help that some auction sites claim that FFL need to give private parties a copy of their FFL when it is not required and best not to do, nor does the BATF suggest that you give a copy to non-licensees.

I just request a scanned copy of the person's drivers license in advance, so ensure that I have a valid name and address to log it from. Not a big deal, but some just don't want to deal with it.
