Also he may want to check if they will ship to a private FFL.
I shipped a rifle back in Feb from my FFL to another, and when I was doing the transfer my FFL said they would not ship to a private FFL . I dont know if that is their store policy or what I have never heard of that before .

An FFL is an FFL. Period.

Unless you misunderstood their policy, there is absolutely no legal reason behind them doing that. True, an FFL can make their own rules as to who they want to do business with and not. But....

There is absolutely no way for an FFL to know how or where another FFL operates their business.
The receiving FFL copy is provided to the shipping FFL (or individual shipper), it has an FFL number, the type of license, a premises address and a mailing address on it. The validity of the license is confirmed with the ATF and that is it.
The nature of the business, or the nature of the addresses displayed on the license are in no way conveyed to the other FFL verifying the license.

I think you got something wrong in interpreting what they told you...

What they asked/told me was " Is this a business or a private individuals FFL ? Because we dont ship to individual FFL holders only to businesses with FFLs" .

They did do the transfer for me but they confused me when they asked me that .
Never had a gun shop ask me that before .

Bank policy maybe? Not sure. Sign hanging over drive thru says “cashiers checks must be purchased inside the bank”

What about certified checks then ? I got one from the bank this morning from the drive through well technically they are a credit union so maybe their policy is different .

So I am really glad that I live in NH and not Mass. Our Governor deemed gun shops to be essential because home protection is essential. As yes, the land of liberals

Gun stores were deemed essential by the US Dept of Homeland Security. You may have read the Maine Governor ordered the Kittery Trading Post closed and the Maine AG threatened to use law enforcement to close it. KTP complied and closed, however when DHS declared gun stores essential Maine reversed course and KTP reopened yesterday but you can only shop in the shooting sports and fishing departments. The US Constitution has been getting a bit walked on during this pandemic and believe we will see many lawsuits in that regard when things return to a more normal state. In the meantime did any of you ever think you would be wearing a mask and carrying a sidearm in public?

But our Governor kept them open. He definitely has our backs as gun owners and has demonstrated that on several veto's on democratic anti gun legislation.
