Can I legaly transfer a firearm from me(seller) to a buyer in the same state as me without going through an FFL on either end??
Basically,can I stick it in a box and send it via FedEx and be done with it?
Keep in mind I live in Florida.
Correct. However, if it is a shotgun or rifle, you can ship it via the U.S. Postal Service, and UPS will ship all types of non-NFA firearms between individuals involved in a legal transaction. Go here:No, because by company policy FEDEX will not ship it to a non-FFL.
I've underlined the relevant section. You'll probably also want to read the other sections of the UPS policy.UPS accepts packages containing firearms, as defined by Title 18, Chapter 44, and Title 26, Chapter 53 of the United States Code, for transportation from and between licensed importers, licensed manufacturers, licensed dealers, and licensed collectors, as defined in Title 18, Chapter 44 of the United States Code, law enforcement agencies of the United States (or of any department or agency of the United States) and law enforcement agencies of any state or department agency (or political subdivision of any state), and from and between persons not otherwise prohibited from shipping firearms by federal, state or local law and when such shipment complies with all applicable federal, state and local laws applicable to the shipper, recipient and package.
Yes, as I said in my earlier post, USPS will ship long guns, i.e. rifles and shotguns. In fact, IIRC their policy says that it's not their responsibility to determine if it's a legal transaction because enforcing the GCA is the ATF's job, not theirs....someone told me you could ship in state (long guns only) without a ffl i don't remember what co they used it may have been usps...
