Say a Mass. based FFL01 who doesn’t have a Mass. dealer’s license (e.g. Gunbroker sales only) wants to sell a C&R gun to a Mass. based FFL03: can he hand the gun to the buyer in another state, (like at a gun show) or must it be shipped to the C&R holder?
I assume he can’t hand it to the buyer within Mass. because it triggers all the Mass. dealer laws and regulations. (Unless he transfers it to his personal collection first?)
I also assume the 01 and 03 can’t meet out of state NOT at a gun show and hand it off because of the federal rules about selling only from the 01’s place of business.
It seems like because Mass. laws are stupid, the only way for this transfer to happen would be through the mail.
Did I miss anything in my analysis?
