As I sit here and type this, our legislature here in Colorado is in the process of jamming some new gun control bills down our throats (winning by just a vote or two, from the looks of things). This issue has made me start thinking about future laws, and future purchases.
Ignoring laws of the home state for a moment, is a person who is otherwise legally able to buy a firearm still able to do so out of state from an FFL? Let me give you a "for instance", to illustrate my point:
In the next couple of years I'm thinking of buying land on which to build a cabin for vacation/retirement. I was originally planning to do this in Colorado, but may consider a purchase in Wyoming if we keep heading down this ridiculous liberal path. I'm stuck in Denver for career purposes, and I'm worried that we might soon have a state-level "assault weapons" ban in place.
If such a state-level ban came to pass that outlawed AR-15's, I'd still be a resident of Colorado because of my job. But, could I go to Wyoming and legally buy an AR-15 from an FFL, and then keep that gun at my cabin in that state?
In other words, what are the particulars of buying a gun from a gun shop in a state that you don't permanently reside in?
I've never looked into this issue before, so I'm not sure how it works.
