Right now, you don't need an FFL for a gun sale unless the sale crosses state lines. Originally Posted by Crockprivate party
A hand gun bought in Kansas is not sold to you until it is delivered in Missouri for an additional transfer fee. The Kansas Dealer has the handgun delivered to the Missouri dealer where you pickit up. So an FFL is not needed. A long gun can be purchased in Kansas by a Missouri resident. Some dealers will not do the transfer thing because it is additional work.Here the only 'delay' is while the FFL waits for your FBI check to come back. Usually, it takes 5 minutes. If it goes over 8 minutes the FFL is authorized to complete the transfer anyway.
No license is required to own a gun, or purchase a gun. There are requirements for the state you reside in because it makes it easier to do the background check when you fill out the forms. You can also get a form to get a clearance before the purchase so that you don't have to wait for the three day period, if it does not clear immediately. I used to always get delayed clearance because of parts of my military record that were sealed records. It frustrated the hell out of the Feds. So I got the preclearance done, and now every purchase goes through immediately, just pay for the gun and leave. Originally Posted by JRLawrence
