I'm not saying that an FFL should be required to accept any firearm from an individual for transfer to another individual, but sometimes the reasoning behind their refusal is puzzling to me.
Anyone else see the irony?? An FFL will not accept a firearm for transfer to an individual except from another FFL. How did he think the other FFL got the firearm, except from an individual?

My GUESS would be that with a face to face transaction the FFL dealer can confirm the identity of the person, such as matching the physical appearance of the individual with the photo and info on their drivers license.
With a mail order transaction, it could be possible for a 14 year old to send a copy of his father's drivers license and the receiving FFL would not know.
Like I said, just a GUESS. But some FFLs have chosen to be very cautious.

You are supposed to check with your local dealer BEFORE you bid for a firearm. As stated, not all are willing to accept delivery from a nonlicensee. Now you know.
