Out of state sale.

[gh1950]

Any gun transfer between citizens of different states need to go through a FFL. Period,

The only difference between a long gun and a handgun is where the FFL has to be located.

This. The first FFL either didn’t want to do the transfer or doesn’t know the law.

The fact that you can buy a long gun from a dealership in some other state than the one you reside in

doesn't mean you can buy a long gun from a private party in that state, or any other state!

Why tell anyone anything at all? How would someone know the other person didn't already have said item?

I went to buy a rifle in Montana during a trip. They sold me a rifle on the spot. I carried it home. I’ve bought pistols while I was traveling. They required them to be shipped to an FFL where I completed a 4473.

100% correct,

If the gun was stolen and then used in a crime it could be tracked back to the seller. Unlikely, but possible.

I am 100% all for keeping the government out of private sales as much as possible but I'm also a fan of following the law. No reason not to in this case, other than the hassle of finding a FFL that isn't a jackwagon.

State laws come into play also...
