1- Roll the dice and take your chances on selling privately.
2- Ask an FFL who ought to know the state and federal laws involved.
3- Check with an attorney.

A lot of this stuff is difficult to sort out.

I live jerseystan where a wristrocket slingshot might be regulated similarly with firearms. (I don't really know or care. I don't own any slingshots.) I have some distant family in PA. Should I inherit a firearm owned by an out of state resident and I'm neither a movie star, friend of the governor nor offspring of a well known chairman of the board of whatever, what do I do?

Here's a more complicated question. Say I am among the privileged and connected and actually have one of the rare New Jersey CCW permits. This license for sure allows me CC in state. In the upper New York Bay there's an island with a big well known statue on it. The island sits in an area of water defined as New Jersey. The island has a postal address in Manhattan County New York. The entirety of the island is also a national park. If I CC on my private yacht and dock at the island, because I'm just too good to take the ferry like a commoner, at what point do I begin committing a crime? Probably not before docking but definitely after disembarking and setting foot on the island. Which jurisdiction(s)? If more than one, who gets first crack at me? (Accepting that I would never actually be charged but, hey, I'm not a commoner.)
