It wouldn't be as much fun if I knew I couldn't buy a gun and walk out with it.

This must be true. I saw it on the internet.To Dbrier (et alia),
Of course you could buy any gun you could afford and walk out with it. I have. Why couldn't you?
As long as you can pass the 4473 you should be good to go.
The only legal issue is that you must drive straight home with it. This is covered by Federal Law.

This must be true. I saw it on the internet.
If the gun is a handgun, no sale can be made, unless the firearm is shipped to an FFL in the purchaser's state. This is from the ATF website:To BE Mike (et alia),
Fine, fine, fine.
Make me get the law.
Here ya go: 18 USC § 926A - Interstate transportation of firearms | Title 18 - Crimes and Criminal Procedure | U.S. Code | LII / Legal Information Institute
The law says that if you are legal you may transport the firearm with certain limitations, but you must go straight home with it.
Specifically, 18 US S 926A.
As Federal Law trumps State Law this makes ya'll good to go.

Doug
PS - Mike I should have referenced initially but was too lazy.
To BE Mike,If the gun is a handgun, no sale can be made, unless the firearm is shipped to an FFL in the purchaser's state. This is from the ATF website:
Q: May a licensed dealer sell a firearm to a non-licensee who is a resident of another State?Generally, a firearm may not lawfully be sold by a licensed dealer to a non-licensee who resides in a State other than the State in which the seller’s licensed premises is located. However, the sale may be made if the firearm is shipped to a licensed dealer whose business is in the purchaser’s State of residence and the purchaser takes delivery of the firearm from the dealer in his or her State of residence. In addition, a licensee may sell a rifle or shotgun to a person who is not a resident of the State where the licensee’s business premises is located in an over-the-counter transaction, provided the transaction complies with State law in the State where the licensee is located and in the State where the purchaser resides.
[18 U.S.C. 922(b)(3)]
Doug, Are you saying that a non-FFL can buy a handgun from another non-FFL in Oklahoma and bring it home to Indiana?To BE Mike,
This is true from a dealer and only regarding a handgun. However, a private sale is legal and may then be completed and legally transported home under Federal Law.
Also, I have my C&R so I live in a little bit of a small bubble. I am not much into pistols but were I to get one it would likely be a simple transfer to me being over 50 years old. I know this doesn't apply to everyone but sometimes I forget that.
Still, any long gun would be legal from a dealer or private sale.

Doug
Doug, Are you saying that a non-FFL can buy a handgun from another non-FFL in Oklahoma and bring it home to Indiana?
From ATF P 5300.4 -- Federal Firearms Regulation Reference Guide:
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
B. UNLICENSED PERSONS
(B2) From whom may an unlicensed person acquire a firearm under the GCA?
A person may only buy a firearm within his own State except that he may buy
a rifle or shotgun, in person, at a licensee's premises in any State,
provided the sale complies with State laws applicable in the State of sale
and the State where the purchaser resides.
[18 U.S.C 922(a)(3) and (5), 922(b)(3), 27 CFR 178.29]
Well Doug, my friend, you are flat wrong about that. I thought you read what I just posted from the ATF website.To BE Mike,
Yes, that is exactly what I am saying.
According to Oklahoma Law: NRA-ILA | Oklahoma
Then, According to Federal Law: 18 USC S 926A.
Ergo:
#1) Purchase of Handgun is legal in Oklahoma under Oklahoma Law.
#2) Transport of legally purchased handgun is covered under Federal Law.
#3) Conclusion: Legal to go to OK, purchase and return to Indiana.
Oklahoma recognizes Indiana LTCH.

We all make mistakes Doug. I make them all the time. It takes a real man to admit it. These gun laws just about take a Philadelphia lawyer to figure out.To Be Mike (et alia),
I stand correct. I must admit I was in error on my reading of the law.
I was wrong. Mike is correct.
I learn something new every day.

Doug
