No. You can however have a dealer in another state ship a handgun to a dealer in your state, then purchase the gun through the dealer in your state.

Canadian wants to buy hand gun in New york state?

In the U.S. you can only buy a handgun within the state where you officially reside. You can have a handgun shipped from another state to the state where you are and pick it up at a gun shop within your home state (this is called a transfer). I doubt Canadian law will allow a local gun shop to ship a handgun to a person in Canada, however, I admittedly know very little about Canadian law.

Depends on the state you are from. If California- no. Other states- you may buy a rifle or shotgun from a licensed dealer. You may not buy and take delivery of a handgun except in your home state.

How do you sell an inherited handgun in Arkansas?

You may sell it to a dealer, have a dealer sell it for you, or you may sell it directly to another resident of Arkansas so long as they are old enough to buy a handgun, and you do not have reason to believe the buyer is not able to legally own a gun. If the gun is being sold to someone in another state, the gun must be sent TO a gun dealer in that state.
