Hey all I have been looking for this answer all night and can't find a clear one. Can I as a Ohio resident go to a gun shop in Kentucky and buy a rifle a bring it home with me? I appreciate any help/answers!

I think you have to be a resident for at least 6 months in order to purchase a firearm in Kentucky

I remember reading this yesterday at the range. If I remember correctly you can purchase rifles but not handguns.

 

[ash1012]

I live in Kentucky. I'll contact my LGS tmro and ask for ya. I know handguns are a no go but rifles might be different

An AK 47... Really got the itch for one!

You can take a long gun home but not a handgun. Have bought rifles at a couple of places in KY but had to have handguns shipped to FFL in WV

I'm from Kentucky and when I moved out of state and got a Las Vegas drivers license I had to use my uncle (Ky resident) to use his ID to buy 2 x AK-47s I got from a pawn shop when I went back to visit. We then did a bill of sale to make it legal. Everyone should have an AK!

You can buy long guns but handguns have to be transferred

 

[LostinTexas]

Handguns have to be cleared for purchase in your state of residence. Buy from PSA, it has to go to a local FFL and you have to complete the paperwork for it.
Long guns are usually less strict. Same paperwork, but different rules. Some states require you be in a bordering stater to purchase (without extra hoops), or I've been told.
Glad you found your answer.

A non-ffl can only purchase firearms in the state they reside in. To purchase out of state, the firearm must go an ffl holder in the purchaser’s state of residence. This would include handguns, rifles and shotguns.

Years ago, I purchased a gun from an Ohio shop, and I was a West Virginia resident. The gun shop owner in Ohio, called up an FFL in WV that he used for transfers.

We went over the Ohio River and did the paperwork, a face to face FFL to an FFL, who signed off on the sale. And I went home with the gun.

If states are contiguous, some allow that kind of transfer. BTW: it was a revolver.

I would stop posting that, the ATF considers that to be a straw man purchase.

You are right to say that everyone should have an AK, or a long gun, that has a punch.

a tangent, sort of. can an ffl holder from one state buy a gun in another non-bordering state by showing their ffl at the store without having it shipped?

No. FFL has to conduct business at his listed address. There is a provision for gun shows but I never dealt with that while I worked in the gun industry.
