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...
