KrazeehorseFFL question
What is the logic behind requiring a firearm transaction to go through two FFL's if it is an interstate FTF transaction? I am an Ohio citizen with an Ohio drivers license and CCW. Why can't I drive to Michigan or Indiana or anywhere for that matter and buy a gun from a federally licensed dealer providing I have picture ID? I totally get the requirements if it's shipped. But FTF I don't understand. It's a federal check they do on the purchaser, correct? Not a state check.

How may an unlicensed person receive a firearm in his or her State that he or she purchased from an out–of–State source?
An unlicensed person who is not prohibited from receiving or possessing firearms may purchase a firearm from an out–of–State source, provided the transfer takes place through a Federal firearms licensee in his or her State of residence.
[18 U.S.C 922(a)(3) and 922(b)(3); 27 CFR 478.29]
Doesn't say anything about FTF or shipping. Logic? It's the federal government.

220-9erOpponents of guns do anything they can to create roadblocks.
Probably add into the bill by Democrats to get Republicans to go along with something else.

jljonesIf I’m reading what you are asking correctly, In most all states you can travel to other states and purchase a long gun.
The handgun prohibition is due to big cities on a state border. To keep the bangers baby momma from driving to a bordering red state, buying a handgun and returning with it. Dumb, but the reasoning none the less.

I think that was a big Chicago thing. They tried to blame Indiana. They also blamed a gunshop in the south ‘burbs by the name of Chuck’s in Harvey but that place was probably doing dirty shit.

sourdough44It’s possible in some States with long guns. I bought a minty ‘Sweet-Sixteen’ in MI 1.5 years ago. I’ve bought long guns out of State a number of times, handguns a different matter.
This is keeping things legal of course.

you can, as long as it is not a handgun or other,
long guns (as in rifles and shotguns) can be bought by out of state residents , with proper ID, at any dealer (State laws may prohibit or require other hoops),
handguns must be purchased in the state you reside,
been that way since basically 1968
