Question on FFL transfer

[asianpersuasion]

My Marine buddy just transferred to Meridian Miss and was going to order a couple of Sigs. He went to a local store and they told him he had to be registered resident or live there for 90 days. Does anyone know if there is a way around this. He wants to stay a resident of Fl b/c of taxes. He has to order the Sigs by the end of next month.

Thanks

different states have different laws in regards to non-residents purchasing firearms, iirc. how far is meridian from FL? maybe he can find an FFL close to the border in Florida...

i think he's in the top eastern part of mississippi. anyone know if he could use a ffl in br? he grew up here before going to ocs

 

[dragginaknee]

is he still an active marine stationed in miss on duty?

 

[asianpersuasion]

he's in flight school 2nd part getting acclimated to jets

I think what he was getting at is that if he's on duty active military he should be able to do the transfers. I could be wrong, though.

no he told the guy that he could bring his transfer papers and he said it would still be a no go

Sounds like the shop owner doesn't want his business, let him take it elsewhere.

tell him to take his business elsewhere. i've done transfers in three states (SC, NC, and LA) while on active duty. i showed my drivers license (WV), military ID card, and a copy of my orders stating i was permanently stationed there.

told my buddy that and he said there might be only one ffl in meridian. isn't there a way to find registered ffls.
