I am in RI, I sold a gun on an online auction.
Going by what I was reading, I would have been able to ship to a FFL through UPS. But when I ran it by my local FFL, she said it was illegal....though she may have thought I was referring to mailing it USPS which is obviously illegal. Also the laws on only being able to bring a pistol to a range or gun shop irked me since there was no mention of shipping.
To be safe I did transfer through them....
But as a RI resident, can I ship a gun myself to a buyer in another state using a FFL in their state and UPS as a carrier?
