C&B and NY State

[oldwolf]

I just sold one of my C&B revolvers to a fellow member that happens to live in New York state. Does anyone know if their laws allow me to ship the revolver directly to his home address, or do I need to ship to a FFL? Thanks.

Federal law allows you to ship a C&B revolver directly to any individual in any State.

As a private individual,You are under no obligation to obey any State laws other than your own. It's up to the receiving individual to be compliant with any State and local regulation.

If you are an FFL you are obligated to obey all state laws as a condition of your license.

The purchaser has told me that NY laws still allow muzzleloaders to be transferred without a FFL.

Not so -- You can't send a black powder pistol to an individual in NJ - it HAS to go to an FFL first and be registered as a firearm to that individual and there are other states also - have a look at the Cabelas web site and see if they will sell a cap & ball pistol or even a BB pistol to a person in NJ? I know because I lived there for 48 years.

And I thought the Republic of California was bad..

Cabelas is an FFL holder.

I can send a C&B revolver to you in New Jersey and there's nothing, absolutely nothing the State of New Jersey can do to me. And I live in California and even the State of California won't do anything since I've broken no California law (hard to believe but true).

You on the other hand will pay the price to the great State of New Jersey if you're caught . Like I said, it totally up to the receiver to be in compliance in a private transaction.
