What about immediate family(Does that even matter? I see

the family tie-in brought up a lot.) member/sibling that

lives in another state?

Can you gift or sell to them in your state and have them take

a sidearm or long gun across State lines?

Bear in mind this is a private, non-licensed individual

gifting or selling in their state. Not a regulated

business w/license to sell firearms, if that makes a difference.


So, I like to gift, however I'm not rolling in the dough

and a sibling, that I know can legally own a firearm,

decides they want to buy one or two sidearms or long guns from me.

You can't sell a handgun to someone from another state if you are a

licensed business unless you ship to an FFL in the buyer's State.


Can you still gift to them from your State or sell them a

handgun or long gun in your state as a private individual w/o going

through the paperwork & expense of the FFL transfer fee

and shipping?

I went to the ATF website and the closest I got to the same

scenario was a parent/guardian gifting to their minor

child.

"I also owned a gun shop in Arizona, and am very familiar with the gun laws here. There are no restrictions on private transfers in Arizona (only the federal requirement that both parties be residents of Arizona)."

Does the Federal requirement stand for non-licensed individuals?

I understand that a business can not sell to someone, w/out of state residency, a handgun w/o transfer to the buying party's State through shipping to an FFL.

Does that hold true for a non-licensed individual? If there's no State law preventing such can you sell a sidearm, in your state, to someone that resides in another legally?

It appears ridiculous that I couldn't sell a firearm to a family member while they were visiting w/o having to go through all the hoop jumping & expense.
