The transfer must still be face to face you can't recieve the gun through the mail either interstate or intrastate.

I do not believe that is correct. Here is from the ATF website
(B7) May a nonlicensee ship a firearm through the U.S. Postal Service?[Back]
A nonlicensee may not transfer a firearm to a non-licensed resident of another State. A nonlicensee may mail a shotgun or rifle to a resident of his or her own State or to a licensee in any State. The Postal Service recommends that long guns be sent by registered mail and that no marking of any kind which would indicate the nature of the contents be placed on the outside of any parcel containing firearms. Handguns are not mailable. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun.
[18 U.S.C. 1715, 922(a)(3), 922(a)(5) and 922 (a)(2)(A)]
To me that seems to say if it is a private party (non-ffl) sale and you are both in the same state, then you do not need to be face to face. Am I missing something?
