FTF across state line

[junedog]

Can a long gun(22 bolt action) face to face transaction be done legally across state lines? I live in Tn. and there is a .22 in Pennsylvania I would to buy, just wondering if this can be done legally. Thanks

Not being an expert on the laws of either state my first answer is no. A cross state line transfer must be done from FFL to FFL, if memory serves me correct.

FTF transfers are only legal between residents of the same state, as per Federal law.

Can be done legally 3 ways:

1. The PA owner can ship it to a TN FFL to transfer to you.

2. The PA owner can take it to a PA FFL who ships it to a TN FFL to you. This is needed if you can't find a TN FFL who will except a gun from an out of state non-FFL. Some won't.

3. You can go to PA, have the PA owner take the gun to a PA FFL who can transfer it to you.

I believe "YES". the post is for a long gun not handgun. Look for NavyLT he will have the answer and laws that say for sure.

Kingpin008 and GRIZZ22 are correct.

Y'all could stand to read the stickies. Might save a lot of asking what's already been answered.
