You cannot purchase a handgun or a long gun from an out of state source, retail or private, without the gun being transferred to you at an FFL in your home state.

However, as I was corrected below by bbvdd, the exception is if both states’ laws (purchaser’s state of residence and the licensee’s state of business) allow a transfer involving long guns from a dealer out-of-state you’re good to go. LA to MS and vice versa is legal based on both states’ laws. Was not aware and am glad for the clarification and info.

I dug up the applicable ATF reg:

That’s not accurate.

I can legally buy a long gun out of state and have done so in the last few months. This was from a gun store.

that's pretty vague because you can buy a long gun from an FFL out of state, but not a handgun. you have to abide by your states laws however.

if a floridian goes to AL or GA, they'll still have to wait 3 days due to FL state law.
