May they drive across state lines to purchase in person elsewhere, or are cars subject to stop search and arrest for doing so there?
“or are cars subject to stop search and arrest for doing so there?”
I read a good while ago after one of Calif’s ban on something about them staking out Nevada gun shops for purchases by CA residents, then having the CHP stopping and searching them when returning.
Buying out of state is illegal, though I've never heard of anyone being caught. There are CBP/Agricultural checkpoints at or near all of CA's major border crossings, but all they ever asked me about was fruit. Half the time they are unmanned. There is no random "stop and search".

That’s a good question. I’ll see what I can find out on this issue.
***or are cars subject to stop search and arrest for doing so there?***
Didn’t they use to stop traffic to check for fruits and vegetables from outside the state? How does that work on the Interstates!
ATF has been known to scan the parking lot of Scheels in Sparks NV, looking for CA license plates.
But it’s not cost effective and they don’t do it often.
California has “fruit inspection” stations on many inter-state routes. Often there are (or used to be, anyway) border patrol agents there too. They routinely ask about the vehicle’s contents, and I have had a car searched by these fine folks...
