Recieving firearms from foriegn countries

Boogieman065 · 08-19-2009, 10:37 PM

Hey guys,

My dad has 2 pistols in Thailand that he bought many years ago before he moved here. I'm trying to have those pistols shipped here and I know the only way to do that is to find a firearm importer. Anyone here have that license or know anyone who does? What's the process?

Thanks

I don't have the license for that, but I do know that it better well be done the right way. If you have any doubts about how to go about it, your best bet is to wait until you are 100% sure that it's being done properly.

Good luck in your endeavor.

Go to a local gunshop and talk to them

Umm you might wanna just have them mail it to you directly
if it arrives problem solved if it doesnt arrive youll get a letter telling you what you need to do

You might get in trouble or you might bypass a buncha headaches

I don't think that having them send it to me directly would be a good idea, could be felonious regardless of my intents. I'll try calling some gun shops. I called a few already and they were no help; gun shop and bike shops are places I try to avoid when I'm seeking good services.

Thanks

take the guns apart and have him ship you the parts minus the serial numbered parts, then figure out the frames/recievers serialed parts(seperate hint hint),,,, no laws against him shipping you the parts as a gift
