Face to face transfers no paper work needed.

Not true. If you're crossing state lines, an FFL transfer needs to take place.
From the ATF website:
(B3) May an unlicensed person obtain a firearm from an out-of-State source if the person arranges to obtain the firearm through a licensed dealer in the purchaser’s own State? [
Back]
A person not licensed under the GCA and not prohibited from acquiring firearms may purchase a firearm from an out-of-State source and obtain the firearm
if an arrangement is made with a licensed dealer in the purchaser's State of residence for the purchaser to obtain the firearm from the dealer.
This appears to be correct. Its amazing how many people do not understand this law (myself included until now), even a local licensed dealer that is well known nationally did not know about this law. This pulled from
http://www.nraila.org/GunLaws/FederalGunLaws.aspx?ID=60:
"An individual who does not possess a federal firearms license may not sell a firearm to a resident of another state without first transferring the firearm to a dealer in the purchaser's state. Firearms received by bequest or intestate succession are exempt from those sections of the law which forbid the transfer, sale, delivery or transportation of firearms into a state other than the transferor's state of residence."
Now...understanding all of that, the buyer's mother lives in my city. Couldn't I simply write up a bill of sale and sell it to her?
