Hypothetical Situation - shipping to Non-FFL

1. The seller has just committed a felony which gives time in a secure facility. It is easy to say what the ATF could do. What the ATF would do would depend on a host of factors, including on what mode the agent in charge. They can arrest or they can issue a warning. Depends on the circumstances.

2. Good question. I would say that the buyer should have a FFL dealer send it back. Shows good faith if the ATF comes around.

3. Depends on postal regulations. If the mail man was standing there, with the package in hand, the buyer could refuse to accept delivery. The buyer, in this instance, is safe since he has never had possession and possession still remains with the post office. If the buyer has the package in hand and then takes it back to the post office to be returned - I do not know as this would depend on the postal regulations.
