Ultimately PSA needs to remove the FFL they currently have on file for this FFL holder from their files and any further attempts by someone that wanted to use them would need to contact the FFL holder and have them send a copy of their FFL to PSA. Without having that FFL on file they cannot ship the item.On the plus side, I just went through the motions of buying a gun from them. They are no longer recommending you.
Any shipments from this point forward would have to be manually entered by the customer. (if thats even possible)
No. As I did not purchase it, that would be considered theft.Can the OP legally keep the gun? I honestly don't know so that's why I am asking. I guess once it is logged into his books it has legally been transferred.
I have always heard if you received an unordered item from somewhere you were not legally bound to return it, but did not know if it applied to firearms.
THIS. Just because you receive a package doesn't make it automatically yours.No. As I did not purchase it, that would be considered theft.
Unless the law has changed, if you receive something you didn't order, (and it's addressed to you), then you are under no legal obligation to return it.No. As I did not purchase it, that would be considered theft.
I don't believe that's correct.THIS. Just because you receive a package doesn't make it automatically yours.
Now if you've contacted the owner/responsible party and they're refusing to come get it from you, then after a certain period of time that might change things, but I'm pretty sure that depends on a lot of different factors.
I'm pretty sure there has to be more to the story in this case. Think about what you just said for a second. Technically, every time an FFL receives a firearm that someone else ordered in order to do a transfer, the package is addressed to the FFL, and they didn't order the item. Does that make it theirs? I have difficulty believing the law was ever actually that simple.Unless the law has changed, if you receive something you didn't order, (and it's addressed to you), then you are under no legal obligation to return it.
I think the fact it has somebody else's name on it may add a wrinkle to that.I don't believe that's correct.

Good points. But if the package was addressed to the FFL, and the actual customer's name didn't appear on the outside of the package?I think the fact it has somebody else's name on it may add a wrinkle to that.
I'm pretty sure the buyers name is on the label. Thats how they know who it belongs to.Good points. But if the package was addressed to the FFL, and the actual customer's name didn't appear on the outside of the package?
Yeah, I think you're right. My bad.I'm pretty sure the buyers name is on the label. Thats how they know who it belongs to.
I highly doubt that would affect anything. If every time PSA sent a firearm to an FFL they were technically gifting that firearm to the FFL and relying on their good will to pass it on the actual buyer, but the FFL could legally keep the firearm if they wanted, I just have a hard time believing that could be the case.Good points. But if the package was addressed to the FFL, and the actual customer's name didn't appear on the outside of the package?
