FFL thread question

[Robert Wiggins]

Ted posted a message some time ago re FFL. It's an older thread so I decided to post this as a new question. Although I have already added to the old thread, I doubt anyone will go back there to review it, so.....here goes


For the benefit of this Canadian, I would appreciate some background on the FFL, what it provides and why it is needed. I'm not knowledgeable on U.S. laws, etc. As an example, if I was to come down to the states with a P.08 for sale, I would be required by Canadian law to have a "Transport" and "Export" permit. Upon entering the states, if I wished to sell, can I only deal with licensed Dealers(FFL) or can I sell directly to a citizen?

If I can sell to a citizen, or a Dealer, what documentation is required for both situations.


Now that should keep you typing for awhile


Thanks in advance.
