A synopsis of Pennsylvania state laws on purchase, possession and carrying of firearms.

Any individual or dealer selling a handgun is required to sell or transfer it at the place of business of a licensed dealer or county sheriff’s office. ...”
Looks like it’s a PA state law.
AZ is very different:
