You have to transfer it through an FFL in his state, or if its a C&R gun, he can buy it from you with his license.

I'm not sure that's correct. If it's a handgun, yes. Long guns are different, though.

Not a lawyer, so don't take my advice.

He can also meet you at an FFL in Tennessee to make the transfer.

You can buy a long gun from a dealer in an adjoining state, but handguns have to transfer to a dealer in your state of residence. For an interstate transfer from an individual, handguns and long guns must be conducted by an FFL.

From the site, but a good reference.......

the only diff is a long gun can be purchased from a out of state ffl. handguns can't. they have to be purcahsed from or transfered to a ffl in your home state.

Taken from another site.........but includes code references.....

you can buy a long gun in ANY state under federal law, not just states bordering your states.

What is funny/sad, is I have just talked 2 FFLs who said it was legal for me to sell a long gun to a GA resident.

Just a note...looks like they've reorganized the site just since you've posted this. Bad link now, seems.

edit: Matter of fact, whole URL of http://www.atf.treas.gov/ doesn't work.
