Wrong. Dan W is correct.

In 1986, the provision of the GCA was amended regarding the sale or disposition of long guns to residents of contiguous states. The provision now allows FFL dealers to sell or dispose of long guns to any resident of any state (not just contiguous) as long as (1) the transferee meets in person with the FFL dealer to actually perform the transfer; and (2) every part of the sale (sale itself, delivery, and receipt) fully comply with the laws surrounding gun sales in both the buyer’s and seller’s states.
It’s important to take a look at your state’s laws. Despite this update in the GCA, some states have not changed their laws to reflect the update. The most stringent law must be followed when comparing state and federal laws, therefore; if the wording of your state’s law specifically prohibits FFL dealers from making a sale and transferring a long gun to a resident of a non-contiguous state, that must be followed. However, if your state’s wording allows FFL dealers to make a sale and transfer of a long gun to residents of a contiguous state (and doesn’t say anything regarding non-contiguous states) then the state law also authorizes FFL dealers to sell and transfer long guns to residents of non-contiguous states.

David Hineline:
If you would read again minus the spelling error I said from any FFL dealer in any state is good for long guns.

DanS:
Reminder, 4Aces Pawn in Omaha has $10 FFL transfer fee. A friend living in Omaha has used them 2x for receiving guns bought onlne, and bought a handgun or two from them. I warned him about the area of town not being like the area he lived in, but he never mentioned that he had bad vibes walking out of the place of business to his car with his new gun in a bag.

No, I dont work for them. Just a heads up to save a few bucks.
