Is it legal for me to purchase rifles-shotguns out of state and transport therm with me or do I need to have them sent to my FFL here? I want to keep it legal.

    (B1) To whom may an unlicensed person transfer firearms under the GCA?

    A person may sell a firearm to an unlicensed resident of his or her state, if the buyer is not prohibited by law from receiving or possessing a firearm, or to a licensee in any state. A firearm other than a curio or relic may not be transferred interstate to a licensed collector. [18 U. S. C 922( a)( 3) and (5), 922( b)( 3), 27 CFR 178.29]

    (B2) From whom may an unlicensed person acquire a firearm under the GCA?
    A person may only buy a firearm within the person's own state, except that he or she may buy 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. [18 U. S. C 922( a)( 3) and (5), 922( b)( 3), 27 CFR 178.29]

    (B3) May an unlicensed person obtain a firearm from an out-of-state source if the person arranges to obtain the firearm through a licensed dealer in the
    purchaser's own state?
    A person not licensed under the GCA and not prohibited from acquiring firearms may purchase a firearm from an out-of-state source and obtain the firearm if an arrangement is made with a licensed dealer in the purchaser's state of residence for the purchaser to obtain the firearm from the dealer. [18 U. S. C 922( a)( 3) and (5), 922( b)( 3), 27 CFR 178.29]



    Don't send flowers when I die. Send money now, I can buy more ammo.

    Ok, thanks. I have been stopping at some small sporting goods stores and pawn shops and have seen a couple good deals I wouldnt minded taking. But I was unsure if I could walk in and buy the gun and then transport it home. It would all be long guns as I'm not that big into handguns. For me to buy a handgun it takes several months of debate before I buy it so there will be no spur of the moment handgun purchases made.
