I've read the ATF FAQ's, but I still have a question that some of you might be able to answer.
Can two residents of the same state legally complete a transfer of a firearm while in another state?
From my research, it is very clear that both parties have to be residents of the same state, but I can't find anything that says they have to BE in their home state during the transaction.
For example... Mark and Bob are legal residents of Washington. They are on a hunting trip in Oregon. While at hunting camp in Oregon, Mark decides he likes Bob's deer rifle, and offers a fair price. Bob accepts, and they complete the transaction with a handshake.
Were any federal or state laws violated in this hypothetical transaction?
Thank you for your educated thoughts and opinions. Citations of actual laws with links would be most helpful!
Thanks!
