You can't legally transfer a firearm to a resident of another state without involvement of a FFL.remington79 wrote:Dd you fly or drive up there? If you drove he could then just gift it to you and keep the government out of it all together. Keep it at his house until you left and then put it in your trunk. If you flew I could see wanting to do the FFL transfer to avoid hassle at the airport.
I believe that is incorrect. You cannot transfer handguns, rifles are ok. From Texas I can go to Louisiana, Colorado or Idaho and buy a rifle and take possession, but if I buy a handgun it must be shipped to a FFL within my home state and a 4473 filled out before I can take possession.ScottDLS wrote:You can't legally transfer a firearm to a resident of another state without involvement of a FFL.remington79 wrote:Dd you fly or drive up there?

No guns interstate without a ffl. A ffl can sell a gun to an out of state resident if both states allow it.MeMelYup wrote:I believe that is incorrect. You cannot transfer handguns, rifles are ok.
