>What's the process for properly buying a gun online?


Make sure your chosen local shop or FFL will accept delivery on online orders. Some won't. Get their name, address, phone.

Order the gun, tell them to ship it to your FFL.

Of course, you'll have to have the same qualifications and go through the same paperwork at your local FFL when it arrives.

I contacted a FFL beforehand, mentioning what gun I am planning on purchasing to see if he is willing to handle the transaction, along with anything I'll need before and during our meet, and the best way to be in contact with him.

Everything went very smoothly when I received my SKS

P.S. sometimes the online store will want the hours that your FFL is open, too.

>>30565257
No and no. Its basically the same as buying anything online, except you have to choose a valid FFL to ship it to for the back round check. After the FFL receives your gun they'll give you a call and you go pick it up.

Also check around -- the local FFL will charge you a fee to receive the gun and do the paperwork, and how much they'll charge can vary widely

Do you pay taxes on guns transferred through your FFL?

In my state, at least, any tax is paid to the online store. But there will be fees at the local FFL. I don't know if this varies by state.

I only paid a transfer and handling fee to the FFL. The tax comes from when you purchase from the seller. At least, that has been my experience for online.

Find a "kitchen table" FFL if your shops are dicks. Shop by me want $50 or 20%, local guy that has an office out the back of a concrete company does $25 for 1 and discounts for more.

Right. Last time I checked 5-6 local shops, fees ranged from $25 to $44. Your $50 has me beat, not in a good way.

Fuck. Was hoping I could get away without taxes, last purchase my taxes were almost 30 dollars but I purchased in store.

Only way I could really see you avoid taxes is from direct private transfers.

>give: name, shipping address, license number, date of birth, and credit card info
>wait a week for CanadaPost to deliver gun to your house

Pretty much how it works.
