FYI, according to the Federal Firearms regs reference Guide 2000 (The Green Book), page 135, under General Questions- B. Unlicensed Persons
(B1) To whom may an unlicensed person transfere firearms under the Gun Control Act (GCA)?
Answer: A person may sell (transfere) a firearm to an unlicensed resident of his State, if the buyer (receiver) is not prohibited by law fromreceiving or possesing a firearm.
(B2) From whom may an unlicensed person acquire a firearm under the GCA?
Answer: A person may only buy a firearm within the person's own State, except that he may buy a rifle or shotgun, in person, from a licensed dealer in any State provided the sale complies with the State laws of both States.
(B3) May an unlicensed person obtain a firearm from an out-of-state source...?
Answer: In short, yes, but you have to have the seller (in Florida) sent the gun to your favorite dealer (in Oklahoma), and then you get it from the dealer. Ask your dealer how he wants the gun shipped, how to pack it,& so on, and be prepared to part with a few bucks for his trouble.
The first two are almost quoted from the book, the last is paraphased for the sake of both brevity, and, I hope, clarity.
And I would suspect, that if it is your Grandfathers shotgun, it's damm near priceless!
