I believe that 18 U.S.C. Sec 923 (the feds) also says that you have to also follow state laws.
This whole thing s*cks big-time.
this is all I can find with respect to state laws on the C&R FFL
"Yes. It is unlawful for any licensed collector to sell or deliver any firearm or ammunition to any person if the person's purchase or possession would be in violation of any State law or local published ordinance applicable at the place of sale or delivery."
Doesnt really say anything about collecting
Are there any other states where the C&R FFL is useless? this has to have happened before.
Found it 18 U.S.C. 927:
No provision of this chapter shall be construed as indicating an intent on the part of the Congress to occupy the field in which such provision operates to the exclusion of the law of any State on the same subject matter, unless there is a direct and positive conflict between such provision and the law of the State so that the two cannot be reconciled or consistently stand together.
This interpreted in 27 CFR 478.58 as follows:
A license issued under this part confers no right or privilege to conduct business or activity contrary to State or other law. The holder of such a license is not by reason of the rights and privileges granted by that license immune from punishment for operating a firearm or ammunition business or activity in violation of the provisions of any State or other law. Similarly, compliance with the provisions of any State or other law affords no immunity under Federal law or regulations.
(NOTE: the U.S.C. is the law as written, the CFR is the regulations as implemented based upon that law)
