I'm corresponding with a gunshop in Idaho -- they have a model I'm looking for -- and they are claiming it's a violation of federal law for them to sell me a firearm at their store, unless I'm a resident of Idaho. Is that right?
My question to them:
You had indicated that I could not purchase the firearm directly from you
at your location if I was not an Idaho resident. I was trying to find the
relevant statute, but can not find it. Is that an Idaho law?
Their answer:
No, that is Federal Law concerning Interstate Commerce of Firearms. You can
only purchase a handgun in your state of residence. You can have it shipped
to a FFL dealer in your state and you can ship it there and do the paperwork
at that dealers location.
Thanks,
