This is very likely to have been addressed before on this forum but I cannot find easily, so I ask again. Feel free to just point me to the relevant threads/posts or to elaborate.
I was under the impression that as long as a gun was on the roster of approved firearms it was a fair game to purchase from anywhere as long as it was shipped to a local ffl and you got control of it in your own state. I thought that this was true for used guns (on the approved roster) as well.
A local dealer told me that I cannot purchase a used gun (although it is on the approved roster) from out of state and have it directly shipped to a local ffl. WTF? Is that true?
If that is true the roster is useless since some of the guns are discontinued and one cannot buy them new (ex. beretta 96 brigadier inox), but these are readily available on "gunsamerica" or "gunbroker".
I was appalled. I find a gun I like (beretta elite II) and it is not on the roster! I settle for the nearest thing (Beretta 96 Brigadier inox) and it is discontinued and I might not be able to get it used (unless I wait for someone to sell one locally).
What good is LTC if you cannot carry in this state and you cannot even buy the guns you want!?!?!?!?!
