selling, buying guns out of state - law questions

[lobowind]

So even if a relative is giving you a handgun (no monetary transaction), technically it should go to an FFL first?

Does anyone know the answer to the question in my previous post?

In state (Indiana anyway, state laws vary) = no problem. "Here take this." "Gee, thanks!"

Out of state = FFL in the recipient's home state must transfer it to him/her.

Money or no money makes no difference either way.

If it crosses a state boundary then yes you need a transfer thru a FFL in your home state. Whether money changes hands or not. Ownership is the key factor.


Also as an Indiana resident you may buy/transfer a long gun thru a FFL as long as the other state shares a border with Indiana. But all handguns must go thru home state.

If you buy FTF, out of your state, how the flech is the law going to know

Odds are they won't. Just because you can get away with something does not make it right. INGO members should not be giving out advice to knowingly violate laws.
