I am negotiating a trade with a 20 year old member who wants to ship an SKS to my FFL (for me) ..... As I understand it anyone can ship a rifle to an FFL via USPS or UPS. Please advise ..... thanx!
You can ship to a FFL in any state, including CA. Some FFL's prefer not to receive shipments from individuals, but, there are no legal restrictions.
I do the same thing I used to do when I was an FFL. I ask the dealer to send me a redacted copy of his license. Fax or email is fine for my records. Then I send him the gun with a copy of my drivers license and an invoice. If the dealer refuses to send a copy of his FFL as has happened twice then I advise the buyer to find a different dealer or take a refund. Easy as that.
I accept shipments from individuals so long as they include a photo copy of their valid state picture ID or an invalid state picture ID with a valid copy of military orders and some proof of a current address. Part of the requirements for bound books is logging name and address of the person you received the firearm from.
USPS will take long guns only from individuals, UPS and FedEx will take them all. Hand guns need to go overnight.
