A gun shop doesn't have to ship it TO him, but he can only pick it up from a gun shop in Maryland. I presume you are too busy to personally deliver it to an FFL in MD?
What is you're issue with shipping it? If the cost is a factor, see David at Demon Tactical in VA Beach. He will hook up service members.
