Best Answer

Whether or not you can buy a gun in their state depends on the state law, but you pretty much universally cannot buy a handgun outside of your home state. Typically, you would have them ship the gun to an FFL licenced dealer, where you would fill out the Form 4473 and pay a receiving fee.

Note- when buying a long gun outside your home state, it MUST (Federal law) be from a licensed dealer. As said above, friend can have it transferred to you through a licensed dealer, but not directly.

What does it take to get a gun?

In the US, you'll need a federal or state identification card (such as a drivers licence). If you're buying a regular Title I long gun (rifle or shotgun), it's pretty simple. All paperwork you need to fill out is provided by the dealer. If you're buying it in a state other than your own, you may be required to show proof of residence at the address shown on your licence. Handgun purchases vary from state to state. Some states first require you to purchase pistol permits, and some do not. Any gun shop can inform you of any additional requirements in your state.
