Now, I'm in Virginia so there are no State laws to prohibit it. So, if a fellow has a gun for sale at the other end of the state and I provide him with copies of documents to prove I am a state resident, and not a felon et. I.E. copy of CCW, it is legal under Federal law to ship the firearm to me.

Some more oppressive/restrictive states may have (and probably do) their own interpretation/additions of the law, but as long as it is a long arm, you can pop it right in the mail and send it to anywhere in the state to another bonafide resident of the same state. At least you can here in West Virginia. Handguns cannot be shipped via the USPS, even within the same state.

Slightly tighter definition of C&R (essentially only Relics at 50+ years old) here, but you can do it. Tom Ne Desit Virtus Rakkasans

How can you prove they aren't a prohibited purchaser? Could you be sued regardless of the law if in fact it went to a "bad guy"? I've thinned my collection by using Gunbroker. The only in state sale was to a local guy I was able to meet and size up and subsequently get to know. All the other sales were out of state and went to FFLs. One of the reasons I won't sell anything at a gunshow is because I'm a collector not a dealer and can't do a background check. I simply don't ever want the hassle of getting sued or spend the rest of my life remorseful because I sold a gun to a "bad guy". Carl

You'd want to make sure that the addresses on each license matched each other, and that the shipping address was the same as the address on the licenses. You'd also want a "signature confirmation" on the package when you ship it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- What part of "shall not be infringed" don't you understand?

What if the guy had a DUI a few years back. Would that make you culpable if he did it again? Due diligence doesn't have to include paranoia. Tom Ne Desit Virtus Rakkasans
