No checking of state permit, no NICS, no FFL. Either way. No clerk ever asked me what it was (addressee was 'cloaked').

WTF???

You can send your gun that needs repair to a gunsmith or the factory with no FFL involved .. even through USPS. It's a law. However, if you get caught abusing the law, mucho dinero and bad trouble with los federales.
