Dealer won't ship to C&R

[kar66]

I never bid on anything that the seller doesn't take a C&R. If the don't state that they take C&Rs I e-mail and ask before I bid. I live next door to a dealer FFL gunshop owner who will handle my buys if needed. I only had to use him once. The seller would take a C&R, but wanted $70.00 to ship to a C&R. I let the ffl handle that one. Most of the time if the seller won't take a C&R he is going have to sell for a lower price to a dealer ffl.

Why would anyone worry about verifying a C&R? They are on the data base, & they could be validated when EZ-Check was started, but ATF decided to remove them from the query. If ATF isn't worried, why would anyone else be worried?

No one has EVER EVER EVER gotten into trouble shipping a C&R to a C&R licensee. Anyone believing otherwise should keep his aluminum foil hat on.

Maybe not related but I recently found out why a lot of sellers refuse to sell to Californians. It seems the seller must be registered with the Cal-DOJ and any weapon sent here must have a DOJ approval letter with ID number. For some sellers this is just too much to jump through and they opt out of dealing with California altogether. Handguns can no longer be sent to a C&R either. One thing to remember too is the rules and laws change almost daily so it is nearly impossible to keep up on all of them.

Not the case if they are selling a to a C&R holder in CA or if the seller is a C&R holder or private party. That law, which is several years old, only applies to dealer to dealer transfers.
As far as C&R handguns, those must go to a dealer unless the buyer is picking it up from the out of state seller in person and it has been that way for years.

Shipment of firearms to a C&R holder is in violation of NJ State Law. All firearms must be shipped to and shipped from a NJ licensed retail dealer. It has been that way since 1966. That's what caused the CMP to stop shipping firearms direct to the buyer in NJ. The law hadn't been enforced until the recent anti-gun movement in NJ. The definition of "Firearm" in NJ is wider than the federal one and includes BB guns, all handguns, and pre 1898 cartridge long guns.

Yep. The only thing a c&r is good for in this state is to get ffl discounts from Midway and Brownells. Useless otherwise.
