Private sale - OK to ship firearms to non FFL in GA?

[Tann Hausergate]

I have only shipped in a few guns from out of state dealers, and they went to my local FFL guy, so I do not claim to be an expert on this, and a quick search did not give me the info I was looking for, so here is my question -

I just bought a long gun (22 mag) from a guy that's out of state, and was going to send him info on the local FFL guy I use, and he said that if there was no requirement for registration in GA (which there is not), then he could ship direct to me. I was unaware of this, or maybe he is wrong? Is it OK if the seller is a non FFL private party shipping/selling to another non FFL private party?

And... if this is true, and with no requirement for a handgun to be registered in GA, can handguns be sold/shipped in the same way?

Yeah. Out of state private sale/ship would be a no no.

Good info - thanks! Looks like private to private shipped sales are a no-no, however, I see what appears to be some conflicting info about shipping private owner to dealer, and dealer to dealer....

[h=4]Acquiring Firearms[/h]It is unlawful for an individual to purchase a firearm through mail-order from another state. Only licensed dealers are allowed to purchase firearms across state lines from other licensed dealers.

[h=4]Shipping Firearms[/h]Personally owned rifles and shotguns may be mailed or shipped only to dealers or manufacturers for any lawful purpose, including sale, repair, or customizing. A person may not ship a firearm to another private individual across state lines. Handguns may not be mailed but may be otherwise shipped to dealers or manufacturers for any lawful purpose.

Yep, Thats called a legal loop hole

Yeah, this seems to make it clear:

d. Outside State of Residency - A person may not receive a LG from a non-licensee who resides in another State, except by:
1) Will or intestate succession, § 922 (a)(5)(A) giver, § 922 (a)(3)(A), receiver, or
2) Temporary loan or rental for lawful sporting purposes, § 922 (a)(5)(B), or
3) The non-resident may send or deliver the long gun to a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) in the receiver’s State for purchase from the FFL, §922 (a)(2)(A)

Trying to understand this myself, so if I were to drive to another state and purchase it legally from a private individual I cannot simply drive back with it? What if I were to buy one from a store (say Walmart) in another state, can I drive back with it then?
