Legal position if a gun manufacturer sends gun to FFL in your name but you did not order it

Curious what the legal position is if a gun manufacturer, whom you have done business with before, sends a new gun to an FFL, whom you used in a prior transaction, and … The kicker … You did not order the gun ? Is it legal to take possession ?

Is this similar to someone shipping a product to your house with your name on the address label but you did not order the product ?

I would start form 4473 and buy a thank you card.

I don’t think you’re in any trouble since it was sent to FFL who can legally receive it.

Free gun?

I wouldn’t expect it to be free. They may have messed up, but once you do the paperwork it’s going to be hard to say you didn’t take possession of it.

Kind of like if the bank puts money in the wrong account and you spend it. You’re paying it back, it wasn’t your money.

The right move is contact the gun company.

Hardly FREE?
I would think a ‘Clerical error’ on the Manufactures part would NOT constitute getting said weapon Free.
There is still the 4473

and oh yeah, payment.
Just 'cause they sent that gun (hopefully something I can’t possibly live without!)
doesn’t mean you should get it for free…
It’s a nice happy thought the Universe would actually work in our favor for once, but I live in REALITY
(occasionally) and know there are no Free Lunches anymore

EVERTHING HAS A COST THESE DAYS! It’s really are you willing to pay the price?

For me? If it was a Barrett? I would say ‘What are your Monthly purchase rates?
Do you take Plastic? Would you trade said fireman for my (17) year old Son? (PLEASE?)
Who do I have to execute to bring this magnificent piece of unadulterated Orgasmic hardware
home with me tonight?’

I don’t even know why I write SH** like this, I don’t even like Guns… Now if it was a Waffle Maker ?..
all bets are off! :innocent:
