Buying guns across state line?????'s

[ShooterG]

Also not legal if the guy in SC is an undercover cop- never buy or sell guns to undercover cops.

Not legal if it's a handgun. But can't you buy a long gun across state lines without an FFL ?

You can buy a long gun from a FFL.

It's ok to buy and sell to undercover cops, so long as you abide by the law.
Don't let the undercover cop coerce you into breaking the law. He will be immune, but you will not.

Man alive there is a **** ton of ****ty advice here.

You may certainly buy a handgun from a resident in another State, what you may not do is have him transfer it to you directly either in person or by common carrier. You must have the seller ship it to a receiving FFL in YOUR State where you will fill out a 4473 and have it transferred to you.

Pretty sure that's what I said.

It's almost exactly what you said but your voice (and Banjojohn's) are a peep in the howling wind of voices that are screaming ****ty and illegal advice.

The word of God regarding firearms transactions across state lines. From the ATF itself:

READ AND BEHOLD

You expect them to click? Ain't nobody got time fo dat!

2. May I lawfully transfer a firearm to a friend who resides in a different State?
Under Federal law, an unlicensed individual is prohibited from transferring a firearm to an individual who does not reside in the State where the transferee resides. Generally, for a person to lawfully transfer a firearm to an unlicensed person who resides out of State, the firearm must be shipped to a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) within the recipient’s State of residence. He or she may then receive the firearm from the FFL upon completion of an ATF Form 4473 and a NICS background check. More information can be obtained on the ATF website at www.atf.gov and http://www.atf.gov/firearms/faq/unlicensed-persons.html. The GCA provides an exception from this prohibition for temporary loans or rentals of firearms for lawful sporting purposes. Thus, for example, a friend visiting you may borrow a firearm from you to go hunting. Another exception is provided for transfers of firearms to nonresidents to carry out a lawful bequest or acquisition by intestate succession. This exception would authorize the transfer of a firearm to a nonresident who inherits a firearm under the will of a decedent. See 18 U.S.C. 922(a)(5).

I can't tell but I hope it was a 'tongue in cheek' comment.

Here's one for you yoots... you go home (out of state) for Christmas. Dear old dad has a wrapped box for you under the tree. Lo and behold it's your unicorn gun! Dad is so awesome. Now what?

Well....according to all the ATF gibberish above, you ship it home to yourself and you are OK. At least that's what I got out of it. Live in GA, go home to Ohio for Christmas, before you leave Ohio, you ship the gun to yourself at your home in GA. Easy peasy. Don't let your wife or kids open the package when it arrives.
