Curious how mods want this handled, as I get quite a few PMs from people trying to push deals through that aren't ok ie: across state lines, etc.
Some people just dont have a clue that it is illegal not to go through an FFL.

If anyone is contacted for a FTF across state lines, they should notify a mod. We will issue a friendly reminder/warning. If the problem continues, they get a 7 day NWFA vacation or the perma-ban.
Turning down cross state FTF is the smart thing to do.
There are only 3 options as I see them regarding the people who ask for these non-FFL interstate deals:
1. They are willing to break federal laws to save a couple bucks. Not a good display of wisdom or decision making and I wouldn't want to deal with them. Who knows what other poor decisions they might make.
2. They are a convicted criminal looking to get a gun illegally and one more law broken is no big thing to them. Yikes!
3. They are an ATF agent setting up a sting operation. Not likely, but still, I wouldn't want to take the risk for no good reason.
Any way you slice it, it is just not worth it.
I've had FFL dealers in Longview tell me that no FFL is needed for handgun purchases involving the seller being in OR and the buyer in WA. I've pretty much decided that I'll only deal with out-of-state residents via shipping to FFLs.
I dont see you list the option for the person that has NO clue it is illegal? I know many people that have NO clue of most laws. Sadly many of these people also include people that should know like FFL's and LEO's.
I would simply inform them of the law and if they still push then take it to the next step. It was not so long ago I had no idea you could not FTF out of state or even buy a pistol out of state..............
Actually there is a sticky in this very section, unfortunately most people don't read them (myself included).

Never said the info wasnt out there, I said people were ignorant of it
I to have been guilty the point was just that my guess is as many ignorant as there are trying to "put one over" on someone.
In my opinion the Mods/NWFA should not be held responsible for what the members do. Its is the responsibility of the NWFA member to follow Federal, State, and local regulations when considering a transaction.
