Under what conditions can I legally go to another state and get possession of a modern pistol or rifle? I was under the impression that I needed to coordinate the sale between ATF licensed dealers in both states but a friend of a friend said he was able to go to another state, purchase a gun, fill out the forms, do the instant background check then travel home with the firearm. He thought the dealer filled out some form specific to his home state and knew what was legal there. He already had a carry permit in his home state.
A second question, my understanding was that I could inherit a gun from someone in another state and bring it home without going thru a dealer?
My understanding is it would be illegal to go to another state and purchase a firearm from a private seller and bring it home without ever having a dealer or instant background check involved?
