Can I buy in PA?

**flguy** · December 10th, 2012, 12:53 AM

Hi all, I was in a walmart the other day and was going to buy a 12ga 28" shotgun.. When I gave the guy my DL he said I can't sell you anything.. His little map said the FL is red so... Anyway, For the most part I know the laws for my state as well as a few others I end up in. I've held a FFL a few years back and had a CCW and own about 12 handguns.. I only have 1 long arm (a .22 plinker) and wanted to start doing some hunting.. Is PA different then other states? I know I can't buy a handgun unless I want them to ship it to a FFL in FL but I thought I could buy a long gun in just about any state..

So the short question is: Can a guy from FL buy a shotgun in PA from a FFL?

oh, I was in East stroudsburg if that makes any differences

I would say yes. Long guns can be transferred at an FFL in either state

You'd have an issue though since you wouldn't be allowed to carry it in PA currently

When I pick it up I should have no issues transporting it in my trunk from the dealer to home.. the hunting licence (once I get it) should allow me transport rights as well.. (if I remember right)

Oh, I'm also getting a new CCW but FL takes it's sweet time getting it to you..

Where is "home". Yes, travel to home would excuse you from not having a LTCF per PA state law.

IANAL

I live in Tampa but I'm staying with family up here for a few months..

I'm still confused as to why walmart will not sell to anyone from my state..

They reserve that right. Maybe unsure of the law or just not comfortable

Bloomberg probably told them not to.

As told to me from a ffl. Pa can only sell to those residents of ajoining states long guns with out the transfer. A ohio resident can buy a long gun in PA. Pistols must be transefered to a ffl unless a PA resident. Florida is not a state sharing PA borders so the long gun has to be transfered to ffl in your state
