LOL @ GCA writer Tom Taylor admitting to private purchase across State lines.

In the GCA magazine I received today. He admits to driving to a show in Georgia (he lives in Alabama) and buying a Winchester Garand from a private individual (floor walking neckbeard) and taking the rifle back to Alabama. LOL! Fudds.
Probably not, but was the seller an Alabama resident?

But, is it legal for a private seller to bring a long gun across state lines and sell to a private buyer?
If the buyer and seller are from the same state but deal happens (with physical transfer) in another state, is that legal or doubly-illegal?

Probably double-naught illegal. (not really, hell I don't know)

I think you could make the argument that it would be legal even if the transfer or sale took place across state lines provided both are residents of the same state. I haven't read the section of code in years.
 
I was researching this recently. My understanding is that for handguns, a FFL in your state must do the transaction. If purchasing a long gun from someone out of state, you can purchase it from an FFL from either state.

If you was in another state and wanted to buy either a long gun or handgun from a "walker", you could pay a FFL dealer at the gun show or gun store to do the transfer from the other person to yourself.

Anyone know any different?
