Interstate firearms trade

[Foxtrot Sierra]

Okay, pretty sure I’m well versed in BATFE regulations as it pertains to this area, but I’m just confirming (I know most of you aren’t lawyers, but there are a couple from what I’ve ascertained being a member here for a minute now).

I have Gun A, and a potential trader has Gun B. I live in GA and the trader does not. We cannot just meet up and trade, correct? I have had several people offer to do so, and they make it sound like no big deal. Yes, I know... 2A, infringement this, and infringement that... but the laws being what they are, this requires 4473 paperwork and FFL involvement to comply with the law, right?

Thanks ODTers.

He can't take possession from you and you can't take possession from him. An FFL in each resident's home state must transfer the arm to the recipient.

When a firearm changes ownership from one state resident to a resident of another state, legally, the firearm should be transferred via a form 4473.
It protects you.
Due diligence.
And all that. lol

but it will keep the BATFE from busting in your door at 3:00 am. lol

You can do it...but be prepared for unpleasant man love for 10 years or so.

Is that handguns only, or all firearms?
