    Long-guns can be sold to a resident of another state. Pistols cannot. Assuming that the transaction is in your state. It used to be that those sells could only go to contiguous states, but about 10 years ago that went away and GENERALLY speaking there is no fed law against it.

    That is assuming that they are from a state where they do not have to go through an FFL (like CA), or that has a waiting period, or that has some other nonsense law (like maybe a mandatory record check). As the seller/buyer, you are bound by the laws in another state...like CA, NY, MA and a few others w/crazy laws.

    Now, can you take a firearm into another state and sell it...I'd say yes, but not quite sure, and again, that is a long-arm only...pistols would definitely be a sick bird (ill-eagle).

    I've heard that gunshows are not that good of a deal as tables are expensive.

    How about a website, like gunbroker.com?

    Long guns may not be transferred between residents of different states where the seller is not an FFL. An FFL can sell a long gun to a resident of another state where no state law forbids it.

    You should stop giving advice...
