Out of state buyer: need advice.

[Russell0331]

Someone has approached me about buying a handgun. He is from Tennessee, but he has a son in Atlanta.

-Would I would be breaking the law selling to his son?
-Isn't this the definition of a "straw" purchase?
-Would a bill of sale signed by his son cover me?
-Do I need to do an FFL transfer to the son?

Any advice will be appreciated.

sounds like a straw purchase to me

The guy said he has GADL, but he is in the process of moving to TN.

who is 'the guy', the father or son?

 

[Russell0331]

The father is in TN, but he is in the process of moving from GA to TN. He said he still has GADL and GA voter registration. The son lives in GA.

If you're feeling uncomfortable or...whatever...then CYA.

That's what I said. I told him that I will gladly hold onto the gun until he is back in GA and can show me a GADL. I was more curious of the legalities in transferring the gun to his son, considering the fact that I knew it was ultimately going to the father.

Transfer to be safe.

if you're dealing with the father locally and he agrees to provide his GA DL ftf, I say go for it. If he's in possession of his GA DL, he's still a resident of the State of Georgia Anything else that implies that the said firearm is being purchased to someone else is a huge RED flag; at least for me.

please be advised that IANAL and you shouldn't take this as a legal advice
