[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 3869617, member: 796"] For the handgun, it must go through an FFL in the "buyer's" home state. An FFL can legally receive a gun from anybody, but some stores have peculiar policies. You can satisfy Fed law for the long gun by doing the paper transfer in either state. This law is one that some people say ignore, but I know people who have been caught. Like a strawman buy, the potential penalty is harsh. Maximum penalty is 5 years imprisonment with a felony conviction.
