The answer is yes and no. You cannot go into a gun store in a state where you don't live and walk out with a handgun. You can, however, have a handgun shipped from a licensed dealer where you are to a licensed dealer in your state and pick it up there, unless there is a local state law prohibiting that. You have to find a gunshop that is willing to do that. Some will, some won't.
