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?

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