Not sure if it's true or not, but such a statement was posted on a big billboard at last two gunshows I went to in Shreveport/Bossier. That was the first I'd ever heard of it as well. I know for certain one can't buy a handgun from a dealer across state lines.

DNaguin - It's people like you that give law-abiding gun owners a bad name. I suggest that you become familiar with firearms laws before spouting off and giving bad advice that could land someone in jail.
Except for a very few narrow exceptions (inheritance of a handgun from a family member that goes across state lines e.g.), it is against federal law to transfer a handgun across state lines in a private sale/gift unless you go through an FFL.
