Can't he just meet the guy in Texas and make the trade?
No, he could come here and meet at an FFL and do the transfer, but you can only sell FTF with people in your own state, that includes Long Guns...legally speaking..
Its really best, the last transfer I did with someone from KS was on my way back with my wifes new car. I was selling him my AR 15 pistol. Went to the FFL, kid get delayed...turns out it was because he had some shit on his record that he needed to clear up first. Had I not gone through the FFL that would have been a bad deal for me in the long run...
Legally you still need an FFL.What if I give the AR-15 to my son (39 years old) who is a resident of same State (same town) and let him trade for the guitar?

Family or not, ownership still crosses state lines. Why not just do it the right way? Is not that big of a deal, and that way everyone is protected..
I believe you can give your out of state son the gun, but since you would be doing it to circumvent the law on the trade, it would be illegal. I am not an expert by any means, but that is how i understand it.What if I give the AR-15 to my son (39 years old) who is a resident of same State (same town) and let him trade for the guitar?
I have always heard the gun needs to be shipped to an FFL. I was curious if it could be delivered to an out of state FFL legally. It sounds like it can be.

This is a myth, brought on by cheap people. You can ship a handgun to anyone legally able to receive it, BUT, it costs close to $100 for an individual to do so using FedUPS.Only handguns have to be sent by/to FFL on both ends.
Quite legal, so long as there's no state law (where your going) prohibiting it.And yes it cen be delivered I believe, not 100% sure.
He can give his son the gun, but he still has to transfer it through an FFL in his son's state, regardless of legal intent. The only way I know of for the OP to transfer a gun to his out-of-state son without using an FFL is if he died and bequeathed it to him.I believe you can give your out of state son the gun, but since you would be doing it to circumvent the law on the trade, it would be illegal.

A non FFL can ship a handgun to an FFL in another State, but not by USPS.You don't need to use a local FFL on your end. You can ship the long gun to a FFL in the recipient's state, as long as you clear it with the receiving FFL beforehand. Some FFLs won't accept shipments from individuals. If the FFl says OK, ship to him, and he will transfer to the recipient in that state. Only handguns have to be sent by/to FFL on both ends.
