I have been told I could sell a pistol online witout possesing an FFl.I have been told all I have to do is get a signed copy pf the buyers FFl and ship it to the address on the ffl copy.Does anyone no if I can do this?Also if that is how you do it how does it get transfered out of my name?

    Unless there is an obscure local or state law in your area, you can legally do a private sell of a firearm. When you send it to the FFL's address, he must do a yellow form when he transfers it to the buyer. That is a legal transfer, but if your name is on a gunshop (doubtful), local (could be), or state (hope you're not in California) list, it will not remove it.Your best option would be to pay a local FFL to ship the gun from you to the buyers FFL. That way all of the paperwork on both ends will be complete. Make a copy of all paperwork and save it. Include the price of using the local FFL in your shipping charges.Be careful not to accept a copy of the FFL where the signature is photocopied. Most require the signature to be a contrasting color. The signature must be signed in ink. Also, do not accept a copy that is not clear enough to be sure that is not tampered with.
