I have a hypothetical question.
Joe purchased a firearm. Joe then sold that firearm to Bob. There was a defect with that firearm and Bob decided he wanted to return the firearm to Joe and get his money back. Joe agrees and Bob ships the firearm back to Joes FFL. When the firearm arrives at Joes FFL, Joe does not complete the transfer but first has the FFL send the firearm directly to the manufacturer for repair. The firearm is repaired and then sent back to Joes FFL again. The firearm is currently at Joes FFL.
However, while the firearm was being repaired Joe became convicted of a felony and can no longer own or possess a firearm. Joe wants to comply with the law and does not want to break any laws or be in illegal possession. However, Joe also does not want to just let the firearm sit at the FFL.
What are Joes options?
