You may purchase a rifle or shotgun from a licensed dealer in PA. Under Federal law, you may only purchase a handgun in your state of residence. Exception- California law does not permit a Californian to purchase a firearm in any other state.

Do you need a gun permit to buy a shotgun in Georgia?

Nope you just need to be eighteen or have an adult by the gun with or for you, the only time you'd need a license is if you are planning on hunting game The answer of 'you only need to be 18 or have an adult buy the gun with/for you' is INCORRECT within the state of PENNSYLVANIA, [IF YOU PURCHASE FROM A RETAILER]. It may be true that an 'adult' may buy the gun for you in the state of PA, HOWEVER, the adult must fill out a PA state firearms 'purchase' form, and it is then called into the PA State Police (right then and there as you wait) to get 'accepted' or 'rejected' to purchase the firearm(s). If for any reason the PA State Police reject's the application to purchase the firearm(s), there is a form one can fill out to 'challenge the rejection'.

Can you file your taxes in a different state?

Federal income tax is the same no matter which state you live in or work in. If you worked in PA, you will have to file a state tax return for PA if they have state income taxes. If you live in one state and work in another you may have to file in both states. As a resident on one and a non-resident in the other. If you move in the middle of a calendar year you may have to file in both as a part year resident.
