Out of State Handgun

[Guest AeroEngrSoftDevMBA]

This question may have been asked before but I can't find it. Not sure if this is the correct forum.

I'm in the market for a new XD 9mm SC and I live in Memphis (TN resident). Can I buy a handgun from a gunshop in MS or AR if I find a deal?

From the "buy and trade" forum on TGO I read in one of the stickied threads that "Transfer of firearms ownership between individuals residing in different states must be managed by a third party who is a Federal Firearms License (FFL) holder." Of course that seems to apply to individuals, but most gunshops are FFL's anyway, so it should be okay. Am I right?

On another note, I'm not that familiar with gunshops in Memphis. I bought my Ruger SP-101 at Guns and Ammo, but everytime I've been back they are pretty rude. As if I'm a complete idiot for asking questions. They act like they don't need or want my money so I'm not going to give it to them. Too bad because I live right around the corner. So other good places to buy handguns in Memphis or northern MS? Thanks.

If you're buying a firearm from out-of-state, you'll need to have the firearm shipped to an in-state FFL. This is still the case if you're buying from a gun shop that's not in your state.

Thanks TDR makes sense.

GG I am fairly new to handguns (~4-6 months?) I have tried a few 9mm - Glock, XD, and a few others. It came down to Glock and XD and I just like the way the XD feels better. Saw no accuracy difference with either.

[Guest GLOCKGUY]

AeroEngrSoftDevMBA what part of TN are you in

[Guest AeroEngrSoftDevMBA]

Now it's my turn to kid... see original post...

[Guest mikedwood]

They should call them SFL or "State Firearms Dealers" seems like federal would mean interstate. The one actual good the Constitution gives us the right to own and it's interstate commerce is regulated. Just odd that's all I'm sayng.

Actually you both are wrong.....Hammer Fired is the better way to go...striker fired is so mid 90's ;-D You could just buy from some of the friendly vendors on here and have Guns and Ammo do the transfer...that should teach em :-D

[Magiccarpetrides]

[Guest GLOCKGUY]

[Magiccarpetrides]

Yeah but you can hit my Sig with a cinder block and it will still fire and feed properly unlike that tupperware gun

I was windowshopping and held an XDm40, NICE!

[Guest GLOCKGUY]

lets both try it you smash your first

[Guest TheBulldog]

You can always hit davidsons.com and use the gun genie to find all the FFL dealers in your area via your zip code that sell thru Davidson's.

Sometime, I get a better price thru the site than what they price them for in the store!

No need to drop hard earned dollars in an unfriendly place!

[Magiccarpetrides]

hahaha...yeah yeah :-D Alright enough of that...Different tools for different fools right? I will actually agree though...my P229 is pretty heavy for carry...but its comforting to know I have it.

[EMTRN]

Try Range USA, Top Brass, or Brighton Arms.
