I have checked with Buds and they require the long gun be shipped to an FFL.
Was hoping Buds could ship after paperwork is processed, but they require a local FFL for all out of state purchases. I was a bit confused because my previous out of state long gun purchases were face to face cash and carry. I guess the internet makes a difference.
Gun Control Act of 1968, as modified by Firearms Owners Protection Act of 1986.
If you are in the shop out of state, you can receive and carry out, as long as the purchase is legal in the state it occurs AND in the state of residence of the buyer.
Since you are not in the shop, it must be shipped to an FFL for you to receive it from.
The difference is face to face versus shipped.
The CMP has a special exemption to this to ship the firearms they sell.
