Transfer fees? Out of state vs. in state

[Grey Bearded One]

I was looking at a gun shop's web site just now they charge more for an out of state transfer than an in state transfer and their wording made it sound like there was an extra check. Any thoughts?

Another dealer charged more for a person-to-person transfer than a dealer transfer. Any thoughts?

Yeah. FFLs can be greedy. My guy charges $18 bucks, regardless of where it comes from.

The shop I used to work at charged 30 dollars. Just one of the many issues I had with them.

Rightly or wrongly, some dealers charge more for out of state transfers because they have to provide their FFL either physically for at least the number to the shipping party.

My lgs charges $30 for FTF transfer and $50 if the other party is not present or the gun was not bought from their store (i.e. Online)...Now you tell me how that makes sense...

My neighbor charges $20. He wins.

FFLs aren't greedy, they are trying to maintain a business.
