I thought all you need to buy a long gun from a private party in PA is your NJFID card. The guy Im talking to is telling me that he needs to ship it to a FFL in NJ. I thought that process was only with handguns. I may be wrong, but I don't think I am. I know guys from NJ that went to gunshops in PA and purchase long guns and all they needed was there NJFID card.[confused][confused]

That's all I needed when I went to PA

IF your picking it up, all you need is your NJFID, if he is shipping it, it has to go to a ffl dealer.

That's my understanding also.

 

[Dubs]

He told me Face to Face transactions are only legal for PA residents. For out-of-state residents it needs to be shipped to FFL dealer in that state.

Whiskers you have a PM

 

[Whiskers]

Dubs he don't know what the hell he is talking about.

 

[Malsua]

He clearly doesn't know what he's talking about. FPID and an extra form is it. Perhaps he doesn't have the forms.

long gun from a private party in PA

If it is private sale not FFL to you type he might be right.. If you are buying it from an FFL dealer and picking it up in person you are fine with fid card. Person to person no ffl it is not a legal sale in NJ

I bought my SBII at The Firing Line in Phila. I am a NJ resident all I needed was DL and FID and off I went with it. I have also bought shotguns at valley forge gun show and left with them.

Your FID card is only good for FFL purchase in Pa. You can not sell or buy from private parties.

What you can do to save a bit of $$$ is go to an FFL near him, have him turn it in to the FFL and buy it from the FFL. Basically having the FFL do the transfer.

 

[bloodtrails]

private interstate sales MUST go through an ffl.

 

[beaverman]

You either have to go with him to an FFL in PA and have it transferred or have him ship it to a NJ FFL for transfer. You can not do FTF out of state in any state not just PA, as bloodtrails stated interstate private sales are illegal unless they are done through an FFL. The seller is correct.

 

[talex9358]

yep...private out of state sales (even long guns)must use an ffl. This, I believe, is federal law.

 

[Grits N Gravy]

private interstate sales MUST go through an ffl.

That makes sense. I get most of my guns in PA but I've never gone through a private seller. You learn something new everyday.

 

[Whiskers]

I thought the guy he was dealing with was an FFl

 

[TJC]

private interstate sales MUST go through an ffl.

I thought I just said tht.

 

[bloodtrails]

Nobody believes a cop...

 

[Dubs]

Thanks for clearing this up, guys. I thought it was the same between a FFL dealer and a private party. So the guy was correct. Doesn't matter, I purchased within our own state. Thanks Whiskers. Class Act guy.[up][up]
