Not exactly...the other threads were referencing FTF sales as governed by the GCA of 68. I want to know if there are any state laws that might apply.
Suppose a TX resident was driving through Louisiana and stopped at a sporting goods store. Would the TX resident be able to purchase a long gun under Louisiana law?
Or suppose a Louisiana based FFL went to a gunshow in Houston. Could he sell to a Texas resident?
An FFL can sell a long gun to a resident of a contiguously adjoining state, but not a pistol. If the buyer is from a state that is not contiguous, the sale must go through an FFL of the buyer's state.

Live in La., have bought shotguns and rifles from a Tex. dealer at gunshow in Texas. Fill out the form, they do instant background check, pay and go. Don't know about handguns but I think you can.
I thought your answer was in there. ??
(a) It shall be unlawful:....
(5) for any person (other than a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or licensed collector) to transfer, sell, trade, give, transport, or deliver any firearm to any person (other than a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or licensed collector) who the transferor knows or has reasonable cause to believe does not reside in (or if the person is a corporation or other business entity, does not maintain a place of business in) the State in which the transferor resides;except that this paragraph shall not apply to (A) the transfer, transportation, or delivery of a firearm made to carry out a bequest of a firearm to, or an acquisition by intestate succession of a firearm by, a person who is permitted to acquire or possess a firearm under the laws of the State of his residence, and (B) the loan or rental of a firearm to any person for temporary use for lawful sporting purposes;
