Handgun purchase in Iowa

<< < (2/3) > >>

BigD75:
So other than the following that you have notated (which I appreciate), what are the benefits to buying a firearm in Iowa (other than you like it because it looks cool), sending your firearm to an FFL is the correct procedure, however it sounds like a pain in the arse, I want my s..t now.??

Dan W:
There is no benefit to buying a handgun in another state, long guns, I believe, have different rules  for contiguous states (shared border)

One benefit of purchasing a handgun from out of state might be that it's a model that you cannot find anywhere locally, i.e., in your own state of residence.

Another possible benefit is that the total price, even with shipping and FFL costs, is the lowest that you have found anywhere else.

And a federal judge agrees with you about the PITA factor:

But until this issue works its way through the courts, it is best to do all interstate firearms transfers in a most "squeaky-clean" currently-lawful manner.   It's only a few buck$ more and a coupla days more time. 

FWIW,

Not legal to take possession of any firearm from an out of state of your residence source without going through a FFL dealer in your state for handguns or ffl dealer in any state for long guns.
