Ok for out of state individual to ship to IL FFL?

[xmikex]

Hi everyone,

 

A friend lives in the southeast and wants to ship a firearm to an IL FFL to be transferred to an IL resident (for the record - not me). Does he have to ship from a FFL In his state to the IL FFL?

 

I know some IL FFLs prefer a FFL ship to them vs an individual shipping to them. Not sure if IL law makes it mandatory?

 

 

 

Thanks,

Mike

It can be legally shipped from a non-FFL individual by UPS or FedEx to an IL FFL

 

Some dealers will not accept a shipment from a non-FFL (e.g. GAT), so they need to check with the FFL they will be working with.

A non-FFL may ship a gun to an FFL in another state.

 

A non-FFL may ship a long gun via USPS or common carrier (UPS, FedEx, etc). It is always cheaper to use USPS as they do not require sender to use overnight service.

 

A non-FFL may use a common carrier to ship a handgun. A non-FFL may not use USPS to ship a handgun.

 

FFLs may use USPS to ship a handgun. If you have a nice (reasonably priced) FFL, it is often cheaper to pay their fee plus postage instead if paying overnight fees with common carrier.

 

Some FFLs will not accept a shipment from an individual. It's their business and their right to do business as they please. I think these folks are feminine cleansing product bags and will not support them in any way. There are usually plenty of good choices available.

Thanks is for the feedback everyone - it's what I expected - just wasn't sure if a new law sneaked in while I wasn't paying attention as I'm not a FFL and don't buy that much anymore.
