You cannot buy a handgun in a state you do not reside, and a gun must be legal in both the state where the transaction is occurring, and the home state of the buyer. (that's federal law)
Although it's illegal to "knowingly" sell against those rules, most buyers don't live by the "don't ask, don't tell" methodology. So in a lot of cases (don't have statistics on it), sellers will want to verify the buyer's home state, and probably even keep a receipt with the name incase the gun is used in a crime, and the ATF comes knocking at the buyer's door.

- rascul 11y agoEr, last year. Forgot the year changed.
- DrScump 11y ago...the ATF comes knocking at the buyer's door. I think you meant the seller's door there.
- dawnbreez 11y agoNo, you want to take down the buyer. Removing the seller removes supply and leaves demand in place, making illegal sales more profitable (and eliminating part of your competition); removing the buyer removes demand, making the supply less valuable (and possibly putting you out of business).
