MA FFL holders, got a question.

I'm selling a Glock 30 to a buyer in MA and I'm asked to send a receipt and a drivers license photocopy as a MA requirement. I've never run into this and wonder if that's wishful thinking or something real. I don't feel comfortable with this arrangement and would like your opinions.

    MA has some of the more restrictive firearms laws in the country. They have a "drop test", & guns made after a certain date cannot be imported into the state unless they have passed the drop test. I sold a Browning auto pistol to a MA resident, but I had to get a letter from Browning showing the date of manufacture before his dealer could process the transfer. Never again!

    The "drop test" may be the reason he requested a receipt. I would think that any Glock would be on their list, but I don't know. Many folks don't have receipts, so, if you don't have it, he's going to have to figure out something else.

    A request for a photocopy of your drivers license is not unreasonable. In fact, it would be poor judgement for an FFL to accept delivery of a firearm WITHOUT a photocopy of the sellers drivers license. An FFL must enter the FFL # OR name & address of the seller in his bound book; he needs to be darned sure that this information is accurate, just in case he is ever audited by BATFE.

    Okay, thanks for the information. Makes a bit of sense now.
