1968 GCA: One can purchase a handgun only from a dealer in your state of residence. Long guns can be purchased from a contiguous state to your state of residence. So, yeah, if you buy one on the road someplace that dealer has to send it to your hometown dealer.
In Trump’s particular case, since he’s under indictment, he can’t sign the 4473 form in any state. Melania could take possession if they actually want the thing.
As a side shot, Trump was already known to “carry” before he was Prez. The SS guys talked him out of his own. But I expect he still has an ace someplace.
I’ll bet he has a collectors dream...a “Mexican”
hey...thanks for all that ! meyer, sorry for the questions. I should have looked further. I’ll do better net time.
