Thanks for your service, I do appreciate it. I don't see how I don't deserve to call myself a Texan though. I was simply watching out for a fellow forum member, trying to keep him/her from getting themselves into hot water with someone who wants to ship a gun person to person, without going through an FFL. Maybe you are an expert on the law, maybe you aren't. However, based on every single transaction I've conducted that involves transferring guns between people across state lines, these transfers must go through an FFL. I'm sure there are exceptions, but I don't believe that in your case you can qualify. Ship the gun to an FFL in Texas, and let the buyer pick it up. This is perfectly legal. Breaking the gun down to ship it to a friend in another state is not legal. Certain pieces of the gun can be legally shipped. However, there is at least one part of the CX4 storm that must be transferred through an FFL. For an AR-15, it is the lower receiver. Not sure if the same is true of the Storm.
I have no interest in moving to Colorado, and I do not delight in any of the new gun control laws. I advocate enforcing the laws currently in place, and repealing laws that serve no purpose but to restrict the rights of law abiding citizens. I do not advocate circumventing or otherwise bypassing the intent of a law by creative interpretation of the law. What you propose, in my opinion, undermines the case of 2A supporters nationwide. As 2A supporters, we should abide by the current set of laws until we can change them.
I offer no insults in this post, nor do I have any. I simply advise the OP to insist that the gun ship through an FFL. All dealings on this forum should be on the up and up, no matter what perceived legal loopholes exist.
