Long guns do not have such restrictions.

This is my OPINION. I am not a lawyer. This is not legal advice.
So, do I understand you correctly that, as a Texas resident, I could for instance lawfully purchase a shotgun or rifle while in Colorado, face to face from either a Colorado FFL or a Colorado private seller, without having to transfer it through a Texas FFL?

I’m not saying that’s incorrect, but I am saying that it is inconsistent with what I’ve understood to this point in time. Seeking clarification.

In addition, a licensee may sell a rifle or shotgun to a person who is not a resident of the State where the licensee’s business premises is located in an over–the–counter transaction, provided the transaction complies with State law in the State where the licensee is located and in the State where the purchaser resides.
ETA.. Not at all sure about private party long gun sales interstate.
Thank you. I suppose I could have invested the time and checked it out for myself, but I’m kinda lazy. :lol: :lol:
It's a holiday weekend. I can understand being lazy. No problem. :lol:
