Out Of State Rifle Purchases in Tennessee

I was in Wal-Mart this week and noticed a map in the gun racks showing which states' residents are allowed to buy a rifle or shotgun in Tennessee. For some reason, I though a lot more states were off-limits. Basically, the law says:

Provided that federal law and the laws of both the dealer's and purchaser's states and localities are complied with:

* An individual 21 years of age or older may acquire a handgun from a dealer federally licensed to sell firearms in the individual's state of residence
* An individual 18 years of age or older may purchase a rifle or shotgun from a federally licensed dealer in any state


I was surprised that states like New York, Maryland, and Hawaii were legal. Not legal includes Kalifornia, of course, and a handful of other states. But if you are visiting from most states, you can buy your rifle and take it home with you.

I'll have to see if I can get a photo of the sign. Sounds like Wal-Mart is promoting gun sales in the stores that still have them.

Well I learned something new today. I didn't think you could buy a firearm of any sort in another state without having it transferred to an FFL in your home state.

Probably because Wal-mart holds FFLs which are valid in each of those states...

One state that is off limits surprised me - Florida.

I knew that the states that touch Tennessee were OK for interstate purchases of rifles and shotguns. You keep up with this more when you live a stone's throw from the state line. All interstate handguns have to go through a FFL in your home state, of course.

I always thought you could buy one out of state without a FFL. Guess I was right for once...hmmmmm

You can do long guns out of state with certain restrictions, but handguns are in-state only. Unless they are transferred through an FFL.

I thought it was all guns, including handguns, as long as it did not have to be shipped!

actually, I already knew this guys...I'm working in MN right now and was before I was home...and I bought my shotgun up here....saw a REALLY sweet pistol and wanted to buy it but the guy said "nope...no pistols, you're only allowed to buy long guns"...
it embarrassed me..and I sort of felt like a 2nd class citizen when he said that.
that got me to thinking that I wish the NRA would let the parker decision go to the supreme court...I'm getting mad with them...they're trying to stop an appeal of the parker decision so they can protect THEIR revenue...not our rights.

Some states are off limits because of their home state purchase requirements. Kommufornia's waiting period for example. Or some state that just has an odd law on the books that makes it a hassle for Wal-Mart to sell to you from out of state.
