Transferring a firearm as an individual to a Florida individual - requirements

[RedBreast21]

So, I was recently told by a Florida FFL that in order to sell a firearm (as an out-of-state individual) to a Florida resident, the individual seller must first transfer it to an in-state FFL that will then send it to the Florida FFL.

I have done some due diligence and have not found anything that corroborates that, so I though I would ping the knowledge base here.

OBVIOUSLY, the recipient has to be a Florida FFL . . . so the question is: Does Florida law require that the sender of the firearm be an out-of-state FFL?

Edit: For clarity, this is a rifle.

You can send directly to an FFL in any state as long as the FFL will accept it. Barring something unique in FL statutes of course.

Some FFL’s don’t like/accept transfers from private individuals, for whatever reason(s). I’ve never run into one here in Bama that objects. Sender only has to include a clear copy of a valid drivers license. My LGS charges $20/per.

Thats bull.
The Florida FFL doesn't want to receive from an individual. Thats all thats going on there.
Unless something has changed that I've not heard of.

He is an obnoxious FFL who is trying to make you jump through extra hoops.

Find a good Florida based FFL near your buyer and use them. Any decent FFL will accept from an individual.

Didn’t both UPS and FedEx become draconian with non-ffl’s shipping restrictions? See the OP states rifle is the firearm to be shipped is, USPO still gtg for this?

USPS is still o.k. to ship rifles from individuals: Must put signature required is all.

what they said. lawful defense and big daddy in gainesville are happy to take from and individual with righteous DL copy. copy of CCP,if held,is a plus but not required. use usps and 2nd day air on a hg. yea there are asshole dealers that want to force a sale of same gun thru them. have never had any hassle from the 2 FFLs above. both about $25.
