Let's say two residents of the same state go hunting or to a shooting competition. And let's say these two buddies are from a state that regulates private handgun transfers such as California, Illinois or Pennsylvania. And let's say these two buddies are hunting or compteting in a state that does not regulate private transfers such as Wyoming.
And, let's say, one person really likes the gun the other person is using and makes an offer the owner cannot refuse, so he sells it to him, right there on the spot.
So, what we end up with is, say two California residents in Wyoming, one California resident sells his handgun to another California resident and the only action that takes place for the sale is the exchange of cash and gun and maybe a bill of sale/receipt. (or the two parties could be from Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania, etc).
Anything illegal about that, assuming both are legal to possess firearms, of course?
