A friend legally obtained a pistol years back. He has since let his ltc-A expire. He now wants to sell me the pistol, well, technically I want to buy it. My understanding of the FA10 form is that he has to have a current ltc to sell. Could I somehow use a ffl to make the sale? He legally is not supposed to have posession of it so how can he transfer ownership even through a ffl. If he is not supossed to have posession could I legally just take posession without a form, or could I legally hold said firearm at my residence in my locked safe for safe-keeping of a firearm without a home?
