I am a resident of Texas.
This time last year, I could have bought a long gun from New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, or Louisiana.
Could I have purchased (and taken possession) of a long gun in a noncontiguous state like Kansas or Utah?

If I had friends or family come to visit Texas from any other state, such as Oklahoma, or Georgia, and we went shopping here in Texas, they could buy a handgun from an FFL here directly even though they are not a Texas resident.

Pardon my ignorance please, but presently if I am out-of-state i.e. living at our vacation home Up North for several months, I can't walk into a gun shop there and buy a gun for our local use e.g. protection? That I'd have to bring such from TX?

It's possible to be a resident of multiple states, so you could have bought a handgun in that state even before this ruling.

I'm not certain of the validity of this, but you can legally only have one driver's license. That would present a problem for these purposes.
