This is the scenario; hopefully there are a few possibilities.
I live in Florida
Have a friend who lives in PA but is snowbirding in GA for several months
Wants to buy my expensive Beretta shotgun
Normally, simplest solution is he pays me, I ship to his PA FFL and he does the transfer when he gets home. Except he wants to have it now and bring it home with him.
I suggested the following:
We take the gun to my small LGS where I technically put it on consignment and he buys it from the LGS. Issue, LGS (a current LEO Captain) says no because PA is not a contiguous state. Now, when I had my FFL in the 80s/early 90s that issue had gone away.
(LGS says just do the deal in the parking lot, happens all the time; sorry but no, that IS illegal).
Second possibility, since he is currently residing (although temporarily) in GA, that I bring the gun to a GA FFL and we do the deal there. Issue (in my eyes) , he and his wife are in a RV park for the time here so no utility bill or anything else to prove current GA residency - so is that a possibility?
Third???? Is there something else I am missing?
TIA!
