I do believe you can private purchase a long gun across state lines.

To be 100% legal, that, too, must go through an FFL and have a 4473 done.

 

[JettaKnight]

It is possible to buy a handgun out of state by having it shipped to a FFL to fill out 4473 in state of residence.

Yes. This is just like those evil internet sales.

NO.

If it crosses state lines then an FFL is requred.

This is NOT TRUE, thanks to others alerting me to this.

Yes, it has to be shipped to an FFL in state of residence, same as a handgun.

My father's family is from outside Cookeville Tennessee. Went down there frequently when growing up. One of the things I remember most was how everyone would wave to you, if they knew you or not, in the rural areas.

I own a Marlin 60. Just love it. That is a terrific price.

 

[jerrob]

Wait.

What the H. E. Double-Hockey Sticks is a "snow baby"?

I could Google it but I don't want to.

Same here, I assumed they were overpriced targets for his new Marlin 60.
I purchased my Tennesee retirement dirt a couple weeks ago. It's just outside a little town called Allardt (don't blink), looking forward to living on the Cumberland Plateau.

Lol, that caught my attention too the first time through. Our schedule didn't allow us to be down there for the Pumpkin Festival, but now I'll be there for how ever many the Almighty sees fit.

As long as you stay in Central time zone you should be good to go. Things get a little off in Deer Lodge.

I'm 100' from Brewster's Bridge (central/eastern boundry line), the last patch of private dirt before ya leave Fentress County heading east. All the surrounding area is Big South Fork National Park land.

It used to be that way here in rural Indiana too, some of the older folks (like me) still do.

Sounds like a good encounter and no Ls engines do not “Always” pitch rods before 30K. They are very reliable engines and sought after by the performance minded in any wrecking yard we know of. Even at 200k.

OK done with my thread back

Typical Chevy..
