Unfortunately, I will be missing the local gun show by 1 day.  Anyway, I googled their laws and I'm getting confused with their gun purchasing laws.  Anybody familiar with them?  Because I'm a non-resident, it seems unlikely to buy a rifle from a gun dealer and fly it home via checked baggage.  It has to be sent to a FFL.  Also, you have to be a resident of greater than 90 days to purchase a handgun, but the wait is 5 days.

Just need some clarification.  I'm thinking of another shotgun, but if a deal on a handgun presents itself, (read Colt Gold Cup  ) I won't pass it up.

Pursuant to any state and local laws, you should be able to purchase a rifle or shotgun from an FFL. With any other purchase, you can set up an FFL transfer and have guns shipped straight to a local FFL, just like any online purchase.

Q: From whom may an unlicensed person acquire a firearm under the GCA?
A person may only acquire a firearm within the person’s own State, except that he or she may purchase or otherwise acquire a rifle or shotgun, in person, at a licensee’s premises in any State, provided the sale complies with State laws applicable in the State of sale and the State where the purchaser resides. A person may borrow or rent a firearm in any State for temporary use for lawful sporting purposes.

I'll have to bring along Mr. Mongeon's card then.
