Moving while under PICS "Delay" status

[texanron]

I acquired a firearm from a private party last Friday and went into a local gunshop to transfer the firearm into my name. Unfortunately I was placed under "delay" status while the State Police make sure I'm good. I'm moving to Florida soon and I'm pretty sure I will be in Florida when the call comes that I have been approved.

Can I simply have the local shop here in PA then ship the firearm to a local FFL in Florida or will I have to come back up here and pick it up in person?

I can't see why the FFL couldn't send it to a Florida FFL for you once you are cleared to go.

The Florida FFL will then have to do another check so everyone is covered IMO and I see no problem.
However, some FFL's make up their own rules, I'd simply ask the FFL.

wouldn't hurt to ask if you were approved before you go, or attempt make other arrangements. i was on hold once and approved after 2 days and never got a call. stopped in after 5 days to find i was approved days before.
