Here is a Question

[Hugo Borchardt]

Hi, NewLuger. I live here in TN as well and typically receive guns for my collection with my C&R (FFL03) license, and don't have to pay an FFL fee. That way I can return them within the 3 day inspection period and undergo no transfer and fees.

When I buy a non-C&R gun, I perform my inspection at my preferred FFL holder's premises (in my case a gun shop). If I am unsatisfied, I return the gun and undergo no transfer or fees other than perhaps return shipping. I would not have a gun transferred to me without completing my inspection. If I overlooked something and the gun was transferred, I would have to arrange to return the gun to the user's FFL for re-transfer unless there is a provision I am unaware of.

When I occasionally sell a gun to a non-FFL or non-C&R holder, I recommend that they do the same. If they do not, they would have to return a C&R gun directly to me, or I guess I would have to pay to have the non-C&R gun re-transferred to me unless there is a provision I do not know about.

My FFL receiver/gunshop has dealt with me for years; he is aware that there have been some shady characters on the various gun auction sites, and checking it over for validity of description is taken for granted before starting the permit process.

In my county in NYS, you must first pay for the pistol [if bought locally] & get a receipt ; then take it to the local Pistol Permit Office and register it (within 10 days of the receipt) and get a 'purchase coupon'; then return to the FFL receiver/gunshop with the coupon and go through the NICS & finally take delivery.

PITA...and pretty much shuts down gun show purchases...
