Local FFL & CHL information

[LS1Goat]

Can a local dealer in Texas mail a firearm (pistol) directly to me without me having to pick it up from an FFL?

I doubt it. And definitely not through USPS.

I think that only works when a non-FFL sends handgun to manufacturer for repair and they return it back to the same non-FFL recipients address, providing that the serial number hasn't been changed at any point.

I didn't realize it until I went to do my renewal online. Since I'm on my 3rd renewal cycle, I don't have to do fingerprints, shooting qual, or the class. Just had to pay online and wait for the criminal background to go through. I'll have to do it all on my next renewal though. Sweet!

That is incorrect. You can ship rifles to any person within the same state without any ffl.

this is true ... @ least for texas

Wow! Did not know that.

Just rifles or does that go for all hand guns as well? This is news to me, I had the understanding that if it's not FTF then it goes through a FFL.

I think pistols have to go overnight. One can also ship out of state to an ffl, no need for an ffl to ship to an ffl.

If you are simply selling it and meeting the buyer FTF than no need for an FFL. If you are shipping it to the buyer than yes you would need an FFL regardless if it's in state or not.

Thanks guys. This is what I thought.

If he's not wanting to go through an FFL then something up, that's just a giant red flag to me.

I am not a FFL but a buyer for my AR insists that it is not needed within the state of Texas.
You positive Jose?

Your buyer is wrong, if it's not FTF then you need it go through an FFL.

Is it advisable(or legal) to sell/ship a ar-15 within the state of Texas without using a FFL?

I think shotguns are legal but dunno if AR's are.
