PA resident buying long gun in Md

[shootit]

May I as a resident of PA travel to MD and privately purchase a long gun from an individual (non-licensee)?

I'm not sure, but I think interstate sales had to go through a FFL. One of the big dogs here will give you the answer for sure.

Welcome to the forums.

Thanks. I've been a member for awhile, but mostly lurk, read and learn. I'm familiar with the requirements for shipping interstate and intrastate but not up to date on private face-to-face sales in contiguous states.

oops. Forgot the face to face part. Well... It's still an interstate sale. I dunno... I'll search some more though.

Found it! From one of the big dogs too.

Interstate, whether FTF or not, must go through FFL in buyers state for handgun and FFL from either state for rifle.

Intra-state:
Long guns. No FFL needed. You can sell FTF or ship to buyer as long as you have no reason to believe they are a prohibited person from owning.
Handguns: Must go through FFL or sheriff's office for transfer except: between spouses, between parent and child, between grandparent and grandchild.

Yes, you can. But you must use a FFL (in either state) to complete the transaction.

I fully understand that, Greg, however, my take of the OP's question is without the use of an FFL holder, a Face to Face transaction.

The term 'Face to Face' is often used to describe transactions that do include a FFL. It typically indicates that the seller is not interested in shipping the firearm, not that he wishes to engage in an illegal transfer. Of course, it's always best to be as specific as possible.

Thanks for the info. You guys have answered my question. I realize now that I will have to use a FFL to do the transfer even though there is no interstate shipping involved. For some reason, I thought a face-to-face could be done without an FFL in contiguous states.
