SemperFiGuy:
O-Kayyyyyy.......Here Goes:

Scenario:
Two Nebraska resident guys with current NE CHPs and current NE Firearms Purchase Permits meet at a shooting range in another US state.
Guys admire each other's handguns.
Decide to trade, right there on the spot.

Question:
Legal..??

Les:
I'll play, sure it should be but I'd guess the right answer would be to use an FFL from each state. 

JAK:
That is a good one,

While the language dealing with transfer of firearms between non-FFL's simply indicates that it can only happen between members of the same state and dose not specify that they need to be in that state.  The language dealing with residency indicates that they must be present in the state with the intention of making a home there.  There is also language indicating that a non-FFL can only receive firearms from a FFL with a couple of exceptions.

In order to stay on the safe side, I would not make the transfer until I got back to Nebraska.

GreyGeek:
If they wrote each other a bill of sale indicating their respective names and addresses, their CHP permit number (Isn't the CHP all that is necessary for a purchase permit?) and "some" convenient date, who is to say otherwise?   

This points out the real reason for the FFL: to act as a registrar of firearm serial numbers, a database which can be used in the future to confiscate firearms when the Marxist achieve political  supremacy.   

RLMoeller:
I suppose it would depend on the state and the language of the state law.  There are states where that would be illegal.  Even handing someone your shotgun while bird hunting to cross a fence would be considered a transfer in those states.  Your scenario does not sound like a transfer in most states.
