I have an opportunity to trade a handgun for a rifle.
The transaction is between private individuals in different states. I want to make sure I am staying fully legal and compliant with all federal and state laws.
I live in Indiana, the other party lives in Virginia. I know that I require an FFL to transfer ownership. My question is, can I drive to VA, deliver the handgun to an FFL in VA, then receive the rifle through the same FFL and take it home?
I fully expect there it be fee on all sides for this, but I want to make sure there are no legal prohibitions on trading guns this way.
It seems like a totally above board way of doing things but I’d like to know if there are legal issues I’m not aware of.
Any experience of advice would be appreciated. What other resources are available for people trying to stay on the good side of the ATF?
