This was at a Gun Show and it was a used AR so I'm not sure if that changes things but it was being sold by a dealer so I don't see why it would have.

Any grown, honest, eligible American should be able to purchase a shotgun or long rifle any where in this country using any photo I.D. in their pocket. No ifs, ands or buts about it. It makes me want to throw up nearly every day seeing stuff like this taking place. Maybe all the good guys should ban together as a secret society and everyone get another good guy to make the purchase for them. As long as we all know each other and who buys what, they will never figure out in a million years who's got what. Pardon the rant.

Keith B wrote:It's actually not a Texas thing, it is an Oregon. This is leftover from the GCA 68 rules where you could only buy a long gun from a dealer in a contiguous state. Many states set the laws in their states to follow that rule. Federal law was changed to allow a sale of the gun to a person from any state so long as their state allowed it.

Oregon still has the law in place, so Bass Pro in Texas can't sell a long gun to an Oregon resident without transferring it to an FFL in Oregon. Missouri used to have that law in place, but changed it a few years ago. I can now buy a long gun in that state and haul it back to Texas with no problem.

Here is a list of states that still have the rule in place https://www.nssf.org/factsheets/PDF/Con ... strict.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
