FFLs that accept from individuals

[Howdy]

Hey all, hoping to get a list together of FFLs in the Pensacola/Milton area that accept transfers from non-FFL holders.

Helpful to me since I’ve bought a complete rifle on another forum but could be a good reference for others in the area.

I can't seem to locate the law, but I have been in a gun shop when a gentleman came in with a rifle to ship off. I can't imagine he can ship it from his home straight to you.

As a non-FFL you can send a firearm to an FFL holder for transfer. Generally have to go through some hoops with FedEx or UPS, but very doable and quite common.

Some FFLs will only accept from other FFLs though.

Ranger Firearms in FWB does, they’ve done one for me before. I’m not sure about PN/Milton area though.

Some FFL dealers will do it, some won't. I do it all the time. Won't be of much help to FL residents, unless it is a long gun.

Check Carson's pawn shop. I deal with them all the time. It's 30 bucks for transfer.
Usa performance is a other option if they will accept. Theirs is only 25 bucks and probably the closest to you.

Little Jack's is in Milton. The non-FFL usually needs to include a copy of their driver's license with the firearm, if memory serves.

We accept transfers from individuals provided the shipper supplies a color legible copy of a state or federal ID.

Florida dealers can accept transfers from individuals, we just need a copy of photo id from the sender to log it in. There are some states that prohibit their FFLs from receiving transfers from non-FFLs, but that is not an issue in florida.

I've sent firearms that way several times. There is no statutory requirement to use a FFL on the sending/shipping out side. A FFL or Mfr (with a FFL must receive it and complete further Transfer as needed. I have a copy "in hand" of all documents enclosed in the package when I go to the Shipper.
1. A copy of my ID (both sides) and contact Phone number.
2. A copy of the FFLs license with receiving address (matches receiving address on package). Add their phone number.
3. A copy of Correspondence (emails) that show what (Mfr, Model and Serial #) I'm shipping, that the FFL acknowledges what is being shipped (this can be Mfrs warranty or work authorization to ship).
4. Transfer instructions for the FFL to the final recipient with the recipients ID Type and number. This is not a Shipping requirement but instructions WITH the firearm. FFLs get busy, you don't want a mixup and FFLs don't want to get a firearm and wonder what to do with it or who it should go to! Request they 1. Confirm reciept.
2. Confirm Transfer to final recipient.

Always review that particular Shipper/Carrier for their "current policy and requirements". Often Satellite Stores won't accept firearm shipments and they must be taken to a larger "hub or central shipping center".

Buy the insurance. Take pics of firearm and pile of documents before and after you seal the package.

There are some states that require that their FFLs recieved only from other FFLs, regardless of the federal requirements, so if you are sending to another state, you always need to contact the reciever to see what their local requirements are. I have had someone talk to me that tried to send a gun to a dealer in New York that ran into issues. The gun had to be returned and reshipped from a FFL for them to recieve it. That had nothing to do with federal statute, but was required by state and local statute for that dealer.
