handgun transfer to a pawn shop
 

Hey can you use a pawn shop to do a transfer on a handgun you buy online. There is a local pawn shop that sells guns so i thought maybe i could use them for my local ffl for the transfer

Depends, pick up the phone and ask them what type of FFL they have and ask them how much to handle the transfer. Only he can tell ya.

RE: handgun transfer to a pawn shop
 

The pawn shops FFL will cover it , it just depends if they would want to do it some will and some wont .

RE: handgun transfer to a pawn shop
 

Sure you could... if the pawn shop will do it.
It is getting harder to find FFL's that will transfer a gun that was bought on the internet. When we had our shop in Florida ATF would discourage the transfer of such guns.
Also, the pawn shop may want to charge you a fee for the transfer and you have to pay for a background check.

telll me about it guys local guy wont. Gander mountain wants 75 and the other shop in the next town wants 15% of the cost of the new gun

RE: handgun transfer to a pawn shop
 

Thats crazy. The gun shops around here do a pistol for 45 dollars, and my gunsmith does a rifle/shotgun for 25 dollars fee.

RE: handgun transfer to a pawn shop
 

Long gun $35 here.

RE: handgun transfer to a pawn shop
 

Long gun $20 here. Shop around.

RE: handgun transfer to a pawn shop
 

Local shop will order any new gun for 20 dollars over cost. The ones I order cost me 10 dollars which after reading here sounds like a deal .

Same here, she's an 83 year old lady that loves guns and knows everything. But she does $20 over cost too.

Seems to me the legal issues is with him and buying the gun not with me. Though i have no intent of breaking any laws. My guest if somethign did happen Him or Him and i would go to jail or i would lose my 600 gun 100 bucks is not worth the trouple. I figure it would cost me 50 to drive there not sure it is worth 50 bucks to drive there. I do not also want to buy it at gander mountain either the kinda pisses me off with there 75 dollar transfer fee.

While this doesn't on the surface appear to be outside anylegal statutes, the fact that it raises the question in the first place tells you what you should do. In a sense, when your sister's boyfriend answers the block "are you the buyer", he's stretching the truth and the intent. I'm no attorney, but It'd be a bit different if it were a firearm he already owned that you were buying, but even those purchases can be restricted by state laws.

A better option would be to have the firearm transferred to your local dealer. Most FFL dealers will perform FFL-to-FFL transfers, provided the buyer pays shipping and the final FFL dealer's handling fee. Of course, handling fees vary, I've seen them add anywhere from $25 (the least I've paid) to $50 (the most I've paid). Shipping generallyadds another$20-$30. For those additional costs, you could probably buy the gas and make the three-hour-drive, or the same firearm availablelocally may not seem so expensive.
