I was recently discussing the topic of out-of-state long gun purchases with a friend. I told him that I didn't think it was possible to purchase and transport from a state that didn't border NY, unless it was purchased and shipped between FFLs. I know this topic has been discussed here before, but after reading some older threads and references to various codes / laws, I'm having trouble fully interpreting where Fed and State law does or doesn't prevent the purchase and transport from a non-contiguous state.
He said that he's purchased in other non-neighboring states in the past, and after the gun shop / pawn shop ran a NICS check, he was able to walk out the front door and drive it back to NY. I know of a few other people that have done this in the past as well. Does this sound right? What data is collected from the NICS check or the store from a sale? Would you be setting yourself up for trouble down the road, as far as an agency verifying the purchase and how the rifle was brought back to your home state?
From discussion in this thread, http://www.nyfirearms.com/forums/laws-politics/25075-buying-long-guns-n-hampshire.html, it sounds you could buy a long gun and transport it to your home state, regardless if it's a non-contiguous state, as long as you're within the law to own / possess, and that the firearm does not violate any state / local law where you reside. I apologize if I'm asking a question that has already been covered in the past, but if anyone cares to comment I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
