NC Purchase?

[erwos]

To my knowledge, it is illegal. Any firearm bought or sold that crosses state lines has to be sent to a FFL in the receiving state.

Considering I bought a 10/22 in VA a couple months ago from Dick's, I'm thinking not.

(B2) From whom may an unlicensed person acquire a firearm under the GCA? [Back]

A person may only acquire a firearm within the person’s own State, except that he or she may purchase or otherwise acquire 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. A person may borrow or rent a firearm in any State for temporary use for lawful sporting purposes.

[18 U.S.C. 922(a)(3) and (5), 922(b)(3), 27 CFR 478.29 and 478.30]

also

(B12) May a person (who is not an alien) who resides in one State and owns property in another State purchase a handgun in either State? [Back]

If a person maintains a home in 2 States and resides in both States for certain periods of the year, he or she may, during the period of time the person actually resides in a particular State, purchase a handgun in that State. However, simply owning property in another State does not qualify the person to purchase a handgun in that State.

[27 CFR 478.11]

FFL NEWSLETTER August 2004

CONTIGUOUS STATE - PART 2
In an article that appeared in the December 2002
edition of the FFL Newsletter, we advised FFLs
that the "contiguous state" provisions of the Gun
Control Act were amended in 1986, and that the
GCA allows dealers to sell or dispose of a long
gun to a resident of another state provided, (1) the
purchaser was not otherwise prohibited from
receiving or possessing a firearm under the GCA,
and (2) the sale, delivery and receipt fully comply
with the legal conditions of sale in the buyer's and
seller's States.
The condition of sale relating to compliance with
the applicable laws of both States cited above
continues to cause confusion among dealers,
particularly among those dealers who conduct
business in a State whose laws presently contain
language that allows "contiguous state" sales.
Historically, prior to the 1986 amendments to the
GCA, many States enacted provisions in their laws
that allowed their residents to acquire a long gun in
a contiguous State. For the most part, these State
law provisions were modeled after the contiguous
state provisions of the GCA. However, even
though the GCA was amended in 1986 to allow
the sale of long guns to residents of any State
pursuant to the conditions cited above, many States
have not yet amended their laws to reflect similar
language. ATF takes the position that if the laws
of a given State allow its residents to acquire a long
gun in a contiguous State, those laws also allow its
residents to acquire a long gun in any other State
where the laws of that State permit such
transactions, unless the language contained in that
State's law expressly prohibits it residents from
acquiring a firearm outside that State. Questions
regarding particular State law provisions should be
referred to your local ATF office.

Bringing this back...how does out of state private party for a long gun work?

NO SPECULATION, only fact thanks. Im seriously confused


Bc i i can go to VA or even NC and buy a "non regulated" by MD's standards from a shop, whats the difference with private party? Also since in MD currently you can still transfer cash and carry.

You can only do private party transfers if both are residents of the same state. If you are from Maryland and your friend has Virginia residency it has to be done through an FFL, no exceptions it is federal law.

 

[swinokur]

I don't think that is correct because as MD residents we can buy non-regulated in VA but I thought that was a border state thing. Not really sure.

The border state thing was removed long ago in the GCA IIRC.

Ohhhhh ok. So there is a difference. Now how about family?

 

[Pinecone]

1) MD resident can buy any non-regulated firearm from an FFL of any state. The border state thing was part of Gun Control Act of 1968, but was removed in the late 80s. SOME FFLs will not sell ANY firearm to an MD resident to avoid possibly selling a regulated firearm, which would NOT be legal.

2) Face to face, MD resident to MD resident (or any two that are residents of the same state) can sell a non-regulated (regulated/non-regulated only applies in MD) without any background check. BUT, if the seller has any knowledge or or reason suspect that the buyer is not legal to possess said firearm, they cannot legally sell it.

3) Two residents of different states, the transfer MUST go through an FFL. Federal law.

4) If the firearm in #3 is an MD regulated firearm and the buyer is an MD resident, the transfer MUST go through an MD FFL. Non-regulated can be through an FFL in either state.

 

[Blake_7.62]

Perfectly legal, as long as its a non-regulated firearm in the state you reside. The NICS technician will have to perform a manual check, and the FFL will ask a little more info than normal. The process takes a few minutes longer than normal.
