This is a situation that I have not had to deal with yet, but I am there now. I have a guy that was born and raised in my state, but now works in a bordering state. He still comes home quite often and had me order him a gun. He has a concealed carry licenses in his state, but not mine.
The way the form 4473 reads, the only way you can bypass the background check is if the buyer has a CCL permit issued in the state that the transfer is taking place. Is this correct?

He resides in the border state. It's a long gun.
Keep it simple. Just use his drivers license as the only form of ID and run a NICS.

This is what I was planning on doing.
I asked the question because he is coming home this week for Christmas and I got to thinking about it because I knew he had a CCL, but not from my state. Just curious if anyone knew the answer 100%. The way the 4473 reads it sure points to the fact that the CCL has to be issued in the same state as the transfer...but with the way that some states honor other CCL's....I did not know if that played a role or not.
