Hmmmmm.
As you all know I relocated to Colorado and the other day I went into a Walmart and found a ok deal on a AR. I'm about to ask the clerk to pull it off the rack when I see this BS about I cannot buy it from them since currently I only have a TX DL and without a CO drivers license or a DL from a bordering state i cannot buy it?!  I've been to Cabela's in Grand Junction as well as a few small shops and was told "Rifle no problem, Pistol requires CO drivers license." So Walmart can make up their own rules?  |

Cabelas was the one that is wrong! The rule is boarding state for long guns in state for handguns. Maybe they forgot that little piece of the Oklahoma pan handle that separates Texas and Colorado. |

Of course they can make up their rules, its their store. Out of state drivers license is fine, but you do need to have government ID that shows your current address or you can't buy a gun from a FFL dealer anywhere in the US. So if you now live in CO, but have a TX ID you'll need to have some other proof ( from the government ) where you live such as voter registration, car registration, etc. |

I dunno, I always thought that you always needed to be a resident of that state (which you are) AND have a valid state ID to buy from an FFL. That's why, if I've ever been to a gunshow or whatever out of state, they say they have to ship my purchase back to a MI FFL holder for transfer even for rifles..... I just thought that was a regulation for FFL holders (needing proof of residency in form of state ID).... Still pain in the ass though - I could buy a gun at a garage sale and nobody would know or care.

Cabelas was the one that is wrong! The rule is boarding state for long guns in state for handguns. Maybe they forgot that little piece of the Oklahoma pan handle that separates Texas and Colorado. There is no rule about bordering states, it doesn't need to be bordering. It could be all the way across the country for long guns. There is some regulations about it being a legal transaction in your state, but I'm not exactly sure how that works. Generally the majority of states can purchase long guns anywhere from an FFL. Handguns must be in state. |

http://www.atf.gov/firearms/faq/licensees-conduct-of-business.html#out-of-state-resident
Q: May a licensed dealer sell a firearm to a non-licensee who is a resident of another State? Generally, a firearm may not lawfully be sold by a licensed dealer to a non-licensee who resides in a State other than the State in which the seller’s licensed premises is located. However, the sale may be made if the firearm is shipped to a licensed dealer whose business is in the purchaser’s State of residence and the purchaser takes delivery of the firearm from the dealer in his or her State of residence. In addition, a licensee may sell a rifle or shotgun to a person who is not a resident of the State where the licensee’s business premises is located in an over-the-counter transaction, provided the transaction complies with State law in the State where the licensee is located and in the State where the purchaser resides. [18 U.S.C. 922(b)(3)] Doesn't need to be a state resident or even a bordering state. |

I don't see why not. It's a private company. It's not the law, but if they want to fuck themselves out of the sale, then let them fuck themselves...To the death. |
