Because of rapidly declining health I am in the unfortunate position of having to sell some handguns and have a couple questions that I was hoping NES's collective brainpower and knowledge could answer.
First off, my understanding is that I am limited to four direct/personal sales per year in MA and need to complete the FA-10 for each sale. What if I transfer a gun to someone out of state? I know it needs to go from FFL to FFL but does that transaction count as one of my four per year limit? And is the FA-10 required for out of state sales/transfers?
Second - all my family lives out of state (NY) and when I die I want them to have the guns I have not sold. Should I arrange all the transfers before hand, or can a family member with a NY permit initiate the transfers after I am gone?
I don't want my family to go through the hassle of having to get a MA non-resident license to transfer the guns.
Thanks for any help you all can provide.
