Question:

What is the law on purchasing a long gun out of state? I have heard that you can buy one out of state without sending it home thru a FFL Dealer. Can you buy something like an AK or AR out of state? I know handguns have to go thru a FFL.

I have no clue on that one. I was wondering the same thing myself.

Here's a good site I found Gun Show List covering United States Lots of listings


I mainly want to hit another one for some ammo. I picked up a few boxes of Federal Gold Match grade 168 grain .308 for $18 a box. Everywhere I am looking now wants over $25 a box. I might go get a case or two from a show :yay:

Yes, you can. In short, what you have to do is meet the requirements of BOTH states for the sale; i.e., Marylander buying in VA must meet VA's requirements for the sale and Maryland's requirements for the sale. Fail to meet either requirement and no sale. Prohibited in MD but allowed in VA; no sale. Prohibited in VA but allowed in MD (yeah, right!) no sale.

If you buy a long gun in VA, PA, WV or DE, you can do so from an FFL as long as it is not one of MD's regulated firearms (like an AK47 and most ARs). From a citizen of those states I am pretty sure you can't.
If you buy from the VA FFL a non-regulated long gun, you do not have to involve a MD FFL. If you buy a handgun or a regulated long gun from an FFL in VA, it has to be shipped to a MD FFL and transferred from the MD FFL to you.
