    Default out of state purchase

    I've notice a few threads lately asking about out of state sales, and it got me to thinking.
    I remember visiting my co-worker/friends home state of Kentucky about 14 years ago, and stopping at a local, weekly flea market. There had to be 10-15handguns for sale, the owners didn't give a shit about transfers, out of state residence, nothing. They just wanted to sell.
    Now, I have to admit, I was tempted. But I was good.
    I like sleeping with my wife every night, not Bubba.

    So, I got to thinking, again. Yeah, I know twice in one night....wahoo!
    Other than some pesky interstate purchase laws, why wouldn't someone want to buy guns from a bunch of old hilljacks in the hollers of Kentucky. I've seen first hand that those good ol' boys don't give a shit about the law. They sure as hell don't give a shit where somebody lives who wants to buy a gun from them. Just curious, any thoughts?

    Notice to the Feds(and Mods): I have never, nor will I ever, purchase any firearm illegally from this or any other state. Ever.
    Nor do I condone others making illegal purchases.
    This topic was brought up merely as a curiosity.
    I do not remember where the flea market was exactly.
    I have know way of contacting this person, I don't even know where he is today.
    I can tell you've been rady8ed, you have a nice glow about you.

    It's only a matter of time until people doing that get caught. It'll probably happen sooner than later.

    I really hope nobody would be stupid enough to purchase a handgun like that.

    I just checked OCDO, and according to them, FTF is legal in KY. So, I assume the only illegal part is an out of state buyer. Considering where the place was (in my old, foggy memory), an out of stater would only have found it by accident.
    I just don't think those guys cared too much. They tend to do their own thing down there.
