out of state gun purchase rules

Gentlemen
I am a Florida resident, my daughter lives in Georgia. I want to buy a rifle from a gun shop near her home next time I visit. Can I make a face to face purchase at the gun shop or do I need to pick up the FFL paperwork from a Florida FFL holder and have it shipped to Florida?

Georgia recognizes Florida residents CCW licenses, it seems like they would allow a Florida resident to buy a long gun.
Where would I look for this kind of information? Is it federal laws, state laws or both that control this? Thanks

    You have to look in Federal Firearms Regulations Reference Guide (ATF P5300.4), available online at the ATF website. Or, request a copy from ATF. Or, ask a local dealer.

    The answer to your question is, "It depends." FL counties have specific rules, so we need to know exactly where you live & exactly what gun.

    Federal law says a face to face for long guns is OK, IF it is legal in both states.

    Call the gun shop and ask if he will do the "face to face" If not do the ffl transfer.

    Robin- check w/ the dealer, but ATF says you may face to face with a FFL holder for long guns so long as gun is legal in your state of domicile.
