If the seller just became a prohibited person and needs to divest himself of inventory, how do you suggest he do so?

From PSP:

Q. What if I own a firearm, and I am convicted of a crime which prohibits me from possessing firearms?
A. You have 60 days from the date of the imposition of any disability (such as a conviction which prohibits ownership of a firearm) to sell or transfer any firearms you own to a person who is not a member of your household.

Probably should immediately relinquish possession to a qualified 3rd party (eg FFL, LE agency, etc) and then arrange for a buyer and make the transfer at "arms-length".

I was attempting to provide a valid legal answer to post #9, which I did not have. Thanks.
