Doug, Thanks for the link.
More and and more it seems that there are dealers around the country not wanting to except guns being shipped to them from individuals. Personally I think this is the dealers fault for not asking in advance what you want a copy of their FFL for when you request one for doing an FFL transfer to them.
I found myself in a situation a couple of years ago. Where I shipped a gun I was selling to the buyers FFL dealer. I received an ink signed copy of the FFL and shipped the gun to them. Shortly after it arrived, the buyer called me and said his dealer would not release the gun to him because it was shipped from an individual rather than from another FFL. He then also would not release and ship the gun back to me because I'm not a FFL holder. To say the least this got real ugly, before it all got worked out. I had a pit in my stomach for over two weeks while this shook out.
From then on I get a phone # for the FFL that I'm going to ship to and make a phone call to make sure they know the gun is coming from a private seller. All of this could have been avoided by the receiving FFL holder asking a couple of questions when you request a copy of their FFL wanting to do a gun transfer through them. "What kind of gun are you wanting to do the FFL transfer on? and Who will be shipping it to me?" It's that simple!
