If he does not have an instate ID he is considered out of state by the authorities. Now you could just ask him and he could lie to you. Which puts the felony on his shoulders.
I just called Wal-Mart and told them I had a out of state ID but other stuff to prove residency. They told me I could come down and purchase a Firearm. He asked what kind of gun I wanted and I told him a AR15, he said come on down.
CBI once asked for my 3 month xcel energy bill to prove my residency, because I lost my DL and was using my greencard to purchase a gun.
Out of state can purchase a long gun at any gun store that has one in stock, no need to prove residency.
You don't have to be from state bordering Colorado ? I thought it was required that you have to be from bordering state.Quote:

Some places won't even let you buy if the address on your license doesn't match your current address.
When I moved from Denver to Centennial, Big 5 wouldn't let me buy my 590 until my address matched.
You can purchase a long gun almost anywhere in the US. PROVIDING you state allows ownership of said weapon. So if i was from CA i could not buy and firearm that the CADOJ has on their banned list. Most front range dealers don't bother selling to CA residents for any long gun, just ain't worth the hassle, OR lazy too look up what they can own. I can buy a long gun in NY with no issues. When in CA they will not sell to me unless i have a FFL copy in hand. I have not had any issues buying long guns from FFL in most other states. Here it is the same any FFL i "assisted" at the counter we always sold to most anyone, With Valid ID.Quote:

The Wal-Mart near me has a sign stating they can legally sell firearms to some nearby state residents. I can't recall which ones but there was 6 or 7 of them.Quote:

Colorado has no LIMIT to bordering states, so kinda depends on the purchaser's state, not Colorado law, and this only applies to federally licensed dealers.
Non-licensed sellers may only sell to residents of their own state.
Non-licensed buyers may only buy from residents of their own state, or rifles or shotguns from licensed dealers in any state, provided both state's laws allow it.
I wouldn't rely on the Wal-Mart AR-15. It's legal for a non-resident to buy a gun from an FFL.
ETA: beaten to it. Day late and $2.07 (post-QE3) short.
