This clearly indicates that, at least in this definition, "place" need not refer to a state as a whole. Otherwise it would not be possible to have "commerce between places within the same State". Does this imply that the "any place" language in the FOPA need not be read to refer to states as wholes, but rather to places within states?
That was addressed in my report. You'll also note, if you read the enclosures from BATFE, that they continually parroted 921 but didn't expand on it meaning or application, if any, to 926A.
IANAL
