33. You could not have sold them
legally across a state line without an FFL in the receiving state doing the transaction.

There is no Federal requirement that an FFL in your state ship to an FFL in the other state. It maybe easier for you to have your local FFL do the transaction for you, or you might live in a state where you are required by State law to do it, but there is no Federal requirement.

You have been told before, the ATF maintains a website at great expense to the taxpayer so you could look stuff up before committing conspicuous stupidity in a public place.

Q: To whom may an unlicensed person transfer firearms under the GCA?

A person may sell a firearm to an unlicensed resident of his State, if he does not know or have reasonable cause to believe the person is prohibited from receiving or possessing firearms under Federal law. A person may loan or rent a firearm to a resident of any State for temporary use for lawful sporting purposes, if he does not know or have reasonable cause to believe the person is prohibited from receiving or possessing firearms under Federal law. A person may sell or transfer a firearm to a licensee in any State. However, a firearm other than a curio or relic may not be transferred interstate to a licensed collector.

{18 U.S.C. 922(a)(3) and (5), 922(d), 27 CFR 478.29 and 478.30}



The receiving FFL does the NICS check on the buyer, not yours.
