While some FFl's refuse to accept a gun from a non-licensed person for some or all of the above reasons, there is the situation where the buyer (to whom the FFL intends to transfer the gun) looks at the gun and says "I don't want it, send it back". To whom does the FFL return it. I know that this has been hashed around before several times, and some feel that it is a gray area, but a strict interpretation of the ATF rules indicate that the FFL who now has the gun may not send it to a non-licensed person. A gunsmith who has the gun for repair may return it to the sender/owner but an FFL agreeing to do a transfer does not fall into this category.
There are a few dealers in the audience...what do you guys do in that situation? Do you simply retun it to the non-licensee or have him send you an FFL to whom you can return the gun?
