Hugh what part about that fact that I had it for sale and that I had an interstate sale pending don't you understand. I've had it forever and could have kept it forever if I had just kept it under wraps. However it was listed on a national auction site, that BATF cruises all the time, I had a sale pending and I had to ship it. You just don't go shipping firearms over state lines without doing it properly, ask any FFL holder. I am not a license holder. So I have to use the proper channels to conduct the sale. Nobody could tell me whether or not it was legal or not. Had I just shipped it, had it been discovered later by BATF, say the person I sold it to tried to resell it, it would come back to me and it's jail time. Better to call them and give it up than go to jail.
