Pistol purchase from another state, but from a GA resident...

[spistols]

Curious question- what if I want to buy a pistol, say from a soldier stationed in another state, but is a resident of GA. If I am there physcially, and will be able to drive back, can I legally buy the pistol from him/her, in another state, and then drive back with it?

My gut says that it's still a matter of Interstate Commerce by crossing state lines and residency doesn't matter since he's currently a resident of another state.

If nothing else, in for answers because I like riddles.

Is there a bill of sale or transfer involved?

 

[spistols]

Could be a bill of sale, or whatever that state requires. Not sure how that plays out with transfer requirements if both people are not of that state, and the state requires it.

Better check out the other states regulations, may require an 4473...

Stand on a GA map. Do the deal FTF. Take it apart and drive home happier.

A soldier is considered a resident of both his home state and the state he's residing in temporarily while assigned to a military post, right? This is one of those rare cases were the law of "residency" is not exactly the same as one's domicile. An active-duty military person can have dual residency for gun law purposes, but not more than one "domicile."

So, can a resident of Georgia meet another resident of Georgia and do a F.T.F. gun sale in some other state?
Suppose I travel to a gun show in Chattanooga, TN and there encounter a fellow from Valdosta, Ga, with a privately-owned gun for sale? Yeah, could buy that gun. I'm a GA resident. He's a GA resident. We don't have to be physically located in GA to make this work.

Suppose two friends from GA went elk hunting in Wyoming for a week.
During that trip, one hunter agreed to sell his back-up gun, a .357 revolver, to his buddy. The deal takes place in a hunting cabin in Wyoming, but it's between two Georgia residents.

I don't see a problem. Not under federal law, or GA law.

Yeah I think this is right.
