Do you live in Chattanooga , Tn?

If so it is illegal to sell a handgun over state line

Define "sell".  May I drive there from Georgia, buy it, and then drive back to Georgia?

If he is a resident of TN he can't sell it to somebody in GA and a GA person can't buy it legally

Rifles are OK just not Handguns

You better never get caught with it.  Even if it is your gun and you move states there is alot of legal paper work involved.

As soon. As he answers I will clean thread up

Some laws are just plain asinine.

You can sell a hand gun across state line but you have to do a FFL transfer which is like buying a new one with paper work plus transfer fees

[tcdawg]

I don't get it.

Not disagreeing with any laws. Laws are laws.

But...I buy a hand gun from Mr X. I meet him in Canton, Ga. I have no idea where he lives. No paper work done. Cash deal. I have guns bought just like this. The gun is now my gun. How do I get in trouble and/or how does the seller get in trouble?

Let me see if I can explain this. As an FFL I can sell a rifle to a non-resident of Georgia. Up until this past winter a non-resident of any state could not purchase a handgun from any state except their own. I presided over a transfer between a guy from North Carolina and another from the Atlanta area. The guy from NC was trading a handgun for a rifle from the guy in Atlanta.

I would have to double check the regulations but I do think it is restricted that individuals from different states have to go through an FFL to transfer any firearms.

Now the fun starts. This past February a federal judge ruled that the regulation restricting interstate handgun sales was unconstitutional and struck it down. Since then I have not yet received any word from the ATF rescinding that regulation and I currently don't know if there has been any gun shops willing to challenge it yet risking their FFL's. The second part is I don't know how the judges ruling applies to the private party sales across state lines.

Just to error on the side of caution I would consider and interstate sale of the firearm between private parties to still be illegal.

I hope this helps.
