[QUOTE="bratch, post: 1447747, member: 83"] You can purchase long guns in any state as long as the states allow it and the selling FFL follows the laws of the state the purchaser resides in. [I]Q: From whom may an unlicensed person acquire a firearm under the GCA? A person may only acquire a firearm within the person’s own State, except that he or she may purchase or otherwise acquire a rifle or shotgun, in person, at a licensee’s premises in any State, provided the sale complies with State laws applicable in the State of sale and the State where the purchaser resides. A person may borrow or rent a firearm in any State for temporary use for lawful sporting purposes. [18 U.S.C. 922(a)(3) and (5), 922(b)(3), 27 CFR 478.29 and 478.30][/I] [url]http://www.atf.gov/firearms/faq/unlicensed-persons.html#gca-unlicensed-acquire[/url] The contiguous states law was in the GCA of 1968 and was removed by the GCA of 1986. Not all states have updated their state laws to reflect this and some smaller FFLs feel it is easier to not make out of state sales due to having to follow the other state laws./ [/QUOTE]
