Is it true that as a Californian resident it is illegal for you to buy a long gun from any other state?
I found out this from Walmart when I tried to buy a rifle with my CA drivers liscense that this was the case and when I asked for clarification, he pulled out his little firearms law booklet and there it was in black and white. I just needed to show my proof of residency in this state LA (ie. utility bill) and I got the rifle no problem.
I had thought that long guns could be purchased in any state regardless of your state of resident unless you knew specifically that long gun was illegal in your state of residence.
