[QUOTE="Rez Exelon, post: 3911822, member: 5800"] All that is true, but there is a catch too --- major retail outlets tend to not want to ship firearms to other stores or FFLs. Academy, Sportsmans, etc don't generally have processes to transfer inventory to other stores. So at those establishments, you're likely to be told that pistols are a hard no go. That's not that they [B]can't[/B] sell pistols and ship them to a FFL in your home state from a legal standpoint it's that they "can't" do it because it's a pain in the butt for them or they have a policy about not shipping inventory. If you were to find a pistol at a more local joint then you're more likely to be able to buy it and have them do the transfer to an in state dealer. Finally, to OkiePrepper's point --- as far as long guns go, there again is no federal rule about buying long guns out of state. Pistols are a hard no per federal law, but long guns are fine by the feds. There are some states that have chosen to enact no-sale laws though. I think Wyoming or Montana or somewhere up there won't allow the sale of any guns to outsiders. But the vast majority of states will. For instance, I was in Florida once and found a Savage A17 for 75% off and definitely took that puppy home with me. [/QUOTE]
