Some states allow sales to out of state people as long as they are in a state that touches boundaries and as long as it isnt a handgun. Here in MI they can sell long guns to to Ohio, Indiana, and Wisconsin residents as long as it is legal on their end as well.
Then maybe you should just give it to him and if he happens to buy you some gas or groceries because he's a nice guy, then so be it
This is NOT to say I approve of breaking any laws at all
and they both can go to jail for committing a Federal Felony by violating 18 USC 922 (also known as Title 18 Chapter 44 Section 922).
1. It is illegal according to Federal law below, for any private party to sell, give or otherwise transfer ANY firearm, long gun or handgun to another private party who is a resident of a different state.
2. It is illegal according to Federal law below, for any private party to bring into his state of residence, any firearm obtained from an out of state source, except for a long arm obtained at an FFL's place of business when the conditions of sale meet both states' laws of the seller and the buyer.
3. It is perfectly legal for you to deliver the firearm you have for sale to an FFL in the buyer's state of residence for transfer either by in person delivery (any gun), by shipping by common contract carrier (FEDEX or UPS) (any gun), or by mailing (USPS) (long guns only).
