Transferring between states is sort of like shipping a firearm. The firearm must be transferred in the state it will end up in. In this case a FFL in GA, even though the resident is from SC.
"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)."

In for an answer...cause for reason I thought if the gun wa going to be swapped between 2 diffrent states you had to involve a FFL...but I'm usually wrong I know cause my wife says so
You transport it with an FF L in the state of the receiving party.
I'm thinking it is kinda sad you had to go out of state to find a friend, BUT at least you found one...
According to the ATF... looks like a "No" to me...
