Wikipedia Short Version Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_law_in_the_United_States#Acquiring_from_dealers

Acquiring from dealers
Provided that federal law and the laws of both the dealer's and purchaser's states and localities are complied with:

An individual 21 years of age or older may acquire a handgun from a dealer federally licensed to sell firearms in the individual's state of residence.

An individual 18 years of age or older may purchase a rifle or shotgun from a federally licensed dealer in any state.
However, the applicant may not purchase a pistol gripped long gun that does not have a shoulder stock until he or she is 21 years of age.

Federal law allows the sale of a long gun or a handgun between private parties of the same state as long as the purchaser is 18 years of age. An individual who does not possess a federal firearms license may not sell a modern firearm to a resident of another state without first transferring the firearm to a dealer in the purchaser's state.
