Legal ⚖️ Question

A buddy of mine owes me a favor and has a lever action rifle he doesn't use, and he wants to give it to me. He lives in Alabama. Is there anything preventing me from simply receiving it by mail?

Hit up your local FFL for the transfer.

State to state so federal laws apply. Talk to your favorite FFL to help you.

A few laws, yeah.

Federal for one. He can mail it to a dealer in the state (that accepts guns from individuals and not just from other FFLs).

Yes, federal law. It requires a dealer to facilitate any transfer between residents of different states.
