FFL transfer
Why would anyone want to transfer a long gun?
I found a gun I want to buy locally, but the seller wants to do a transfer through a ffl. I am a CC holder.
I have nothing to hide. I just feel that it's a waste of money
And really my property is none of the governments business.

Re: FFL transfer
So many ways to respond; the seller is a Fudd, or he's paranoid, or he doesn't know the laws, or he thinks that will absolve him from whatever, or he was given bad info from another Fudd, or a gun store, or a LEO, or a 3nd cousin twice removed, or, or. SIGH

Re: FFL transfer
Well his property is unfortunately kind of "registered" to him, even though it shouldn't be. If you buy it and give it away or sell it to someone else and something happens, he will be the first guy they come knocking. If he is like me, a bill of sale you don't legally have to keep, can get lost over the years.
If he was going to go through an FFL "to be safe", he should have put it on consignment or traded it in and avoided all this.
Tell him to knock off 50 bucks and buy it. When you take it to an FFL that knows the law, they may tell him to just sell it to you outright to save the transfer fee and you would be positive 50 bucks.

I sleep much better when I know I sold my rifle with background check. I usually drop $25 off price for that alone. You got your reasons. I got mine.

Re: FFL transfer
One reason is that a transfer through a FFL would absolve the seller of all liabilities should the buyer use the firearm criminally or negligently. It would also absolve the seller of the possibility of selling it to a prohibited person.
