Im not sure how it would work since you have tighter restrictions in CA.
But the statement is true, Under the law you can buy long guns outside of your state, handguns must be transferred only in your state.
You could buy a handgun out of state but they'd have to ship it back to a FFL in you your home state to make the transfer.
I would imagine they justify the rule for hunters.. like you go out of state and need a rifle/shotgun.. But I don't know..
I do know there are some dealers who will not sale to you if you're out of state even though Legally it's allowed.
EDIT: I Should point out this is when buying from a dealer (FFL).
Private sales between non licensed people must be home state.
Although if you found someone selling something you like it's quite likely you could both goto a dealer and use them as a middle man to complete the sale.
Seller -> FFL -> You
