From the ATF online FAQ:

Q: To whom may an unlicensed person transfer firearms under the GCA?
A person may sell a firearm to an unlicensed resident of his State, if he does not know or have reasonable cause to believe the person is prohibited from receiving or possessing firearms under Federal law. A person may loan or rent a firearm to a resident of any State for temporary use for lawful sporting purposes, if he does not know or have reasonable cause to believe the person is prohibited from receiving or possessing firearms under Federal law. A person may sell or transfer a firearm to a licensee in any State. However, a firearm other than a curio or relic may not be transferred interstate to a licensed collector.

[18 U.S.C. 922(a)(3) and (5), 922(d), 27 CFR 478.29 and 478.30]

Q: From whom may an unlicensed person acquire a firearm under the GCA?
A person may only acquire a firearm within the person’s own State, except that he or she may purchase or otherwise acquire a rifle or shotgun, in person, at a licensee’s premises in any State, provided the sale complies with State laws applicable in the State of sale and the State where the purchaser resides. A person may borrow or rent a firearm in any State for temporary use for lawful sporting purposes.

[18 U.S.C. 922(a)(3) and (5), 922(b)(3), 27 CFR 478.29 and 478.30]

Q: May an unlicensed person obtain a firearm from an out-of-State source if the person arranges to obtain the firearm through a licensed dealer in the purchaser’s own State?
A person not licensed under the GCA and not prohibited from acquiring firearms may purchase a firearm from an out-of-State source and obtain the firearm if an arrangement is made with a licensed dealer in the purchaser’s State of residence for the purchaser to obtain the firearm from the dealer.

[18 U.S.C. 922(a)(3) and 922(b)(3)]

Nevermind, still confused.

Welcome to the BATFE.

As I have understood it:
You can buy a long gun from an FFL in any state, you can buy a handgun from an FFL in your own state only.
You can buy a handgun or a long gun in a private sale in your own state.
You cannot privately sell a handgun or long gun over state lines, without a transfer through an FFL, as that is interstate trafficking.

 

[STONEWALL]

Sales of long guns to residents of another state: A seller of a long gun to a resident of another state has two options.

1) The first is that the seller can deliver the firearm to a local FFL, and the purchaser can complete the transaction at that FFL's place of business. The FFL is required to meet the sale requirements for both the state in which it is located, and the state of residence of the purchaser. So as a matter of policy, the local FFL may decline to process the sale if the purchaser is from a state with requirements beyond those of the federal government. This is the closest that a sale to a non-resident can come to being a face to face transaction. The seller and purchaser can go to a local FFL, deliver the firearm to the FFL, and complete the transaction there.

2) The second is that the seller can deliver the firearm to an FFL in the state where the purchaser lives, and that FFL will complete the transaction. A private individual is not required to have a copy of the actual FFL, but as a matter of good business the seller should verify through the BATF site that the FFL is in good standing, or obtain a copy of the actual FFL. The verification can be done on-line through the BATF site. An individual does not have to have a copy of the actual FFL before shipping to the FFL.

This was my understanding as well, so apparently my FFL Guy needs Reeducation?

I don't care what anyone says don't **** with the interstate commerce clause, that BOS will probably be used as evidence against you in the federal trial. Especially right now, don't put anything to chance. If you **** up my rights, I swear to God I will wait for your unborn grandchildren to be born, steal them, and sell them into the Mexican cartel sex trade.
