Re: NICS Exemption with CHL Question
My Texas CHL does list my AK address. Unfortunately I didn't find what I was looking for before I got sick. All I picked up while back in Texas was the flu from my family!

Thanks for the answer!OldCannon wrote: Technically, the answer is "yes."
Since you're transferring in the state for which the CHL was issued, the federal law _allows_ the waiver of the background check. However, the key word there is "allow."
Bottom line is that you can purchase a long gun here and ship it back to yourself in Alaska. Whether an FFL will will accept the CHL to avoid a background check is up to them. I'm guessing that most won't, because the guidance is buried pretty deeply in US Code 27 CFR 478.

Re: NICS Exemption with CHL Question
Awesome! If you are able to make it up, come as late in the summer as you can manage. There are less people visiting, cheaper prices, and less mosquitoes. The perfect time to come is 9/1 to 9/15, because you get fall colors, no bugs, and the parks are still open. Unfortunately, most people with children can't make it up during that time because of school.jmra wrote:Side note: My boys have been bugging me about a trip to AK. Need to do it before they grow up and aren't interested in hanging with Dad anymore. If we make the trip this summer maybe I can haul some for you.

Re: NICS Exemption with CHL Question
If this were summer time, I would load up my car with as much ammo as I could legally cross the border with and haul it up there. I haven't seen ammo in stock for the last year, except for 5.56 which is oddly plentiful. I'm glad to see things are easing up a little down here. I really miss online ammo orders!jmra wrote:That should work. Just wanted to make sure you weren't driving home with it.

US Mail. It is legal to mail a long gun to yourself in another state, though sometimes USPS tries to tell you that it isn't.I believe you are right about that. How do you plan on getting it home? Checked luggage?

Re: NICS Exemption with CHL Question
I believe that I can legally buy a long gun, unless Texas has a state law prohibiting it. When I was a Texas resident living in Alaska, I was able to purchase a long gun from an FFL in Alaska without any problem.Unless you have something showing that you are a resident in Texas, I do not believe that any dealer will transfer a firearms to you directly.

NICS Exemption with CHL Question
I am an Alaska resident with a Texas CHL back in Texas visiting family. I know that I cannot buy a pistol, but that I can buy a long gun. Would my Texas CHL still exempt me from the NICS requirement on a long gun purchase?
