C&R from non-holder or to another C&R
« on: June 26, 2012, 09:57:00 AM »
I have had mine for several years but only made a fe buys and all from licensed FFL Dealers off GBroker. So I was wondering...
 
If I want to buy from a non-FFL lic holder can I send him my C&R and have him ship direct to me or does he need to go through FFL holder?
 
If I want to ship to another C&R holder do we have to exchnage C&R(s) and whats best way to ship?

Not an expert, so I try to play it safe.
Suggest license to license only whenever shipping, especially interstate.  So, FFL/C&R to FFL/C&R is fine for C&R eligible firearms, although some state laws may prohibit certain transfers. 
For example, a CZ82 pistol is C&R eligible, but with its 12-shot magazine, illegal in some states (like CA).  If transfering a C&R handgun within my state, I have to go through a state licensed FFL dealer or the state police and observe the waiting period - yet I can do an interstate transfer direct.  ::)
When shipping handguns, licensed FFL dealers can ship via USPS, but it's fuzzy (to me) regarding C&R status, so I suggest a commercial carrier like UPS who will accept as a second-day air shipment.  I believe all carriers accept C&R long guns.
