Don't be surprised though, if this P2P actually happens, that neighboring states either refuse to sell you a gun, or make you do the transfer in your state of residence.
 
I thought you had to be a resident for a certain amount of time in order to purchase?
I the case of a certain chain store……. I believe it's the closet city or county office (to the sellers address) that does the 4473.

Might be in Washington, not in Oregon yet....
 
Just remember, Washington considers a 10/22 an "assault weapon" so you're better buying in Idaho.
Doesn't matter where you buy it. The firearm has to be transferred to an FFL in your state of residence and they will follow the law in that state. If Idaho still allows person to person transfers without a background check it becomes an interesting legal because you are still "legally" required to follow the law in your state. Of course, what they don't know....

Please cite your sources; your post is completely inaccurate.

Interstate commerce allows for the purchase of long guns out of state at a licensed dealer.

Pistol purchases get shipped to your home State.

Private party purchases without a licensed dealer across state lines is illegal.
 
Unless I am mistaken this covers it.

I don't think this thread is about person-to-person firearms sales.
 
Bolding is mine. You can purchase a rifle or shotgun in another state.

Pistol purchases go to an FFL in your home State.

Private party sales area illegal across state lines without a licensed dealer. The only exception to this is C&R, which doesn't apply in Washington or Oregon.
