Just stay out of NJ and you'll probably be fine
so I think the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam would be pushing it a bit
And... they insisted on collecting state sales tax of 10% of the value of the gun.
The FOPA doesn't mention food or gas stops, either. Transporting interstate, in accordance with the FOPA, should be no problem anywhere -- ESPECIALLY if packed with your household goods and belongings for a permanent (or long-term) relocation.uFu said:Thanks for all the answers. To Eagle Eye, my biggest concern with stashing it in the trunk for the trip is that FOPA only allows for food & gas stops. The law doesn't even mention sleep, so I think the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam would be pushing it a bit
The use tax only comes into play when you purchase a weapon from out of state, when you already live here, then you pay it to the FFL and he submits it with his sales tax collections.. You do not need an FFL to bring your previously legally owned weapon, and you do not need to pay the use tax on any previously owned weapon....just bring it and forget the fluff.
my GF wasn't crazy about being the "owner" of my gun, and the FFL certainly didn't like the idea of a sham-ish sale to get around the 90-day rule. So I had to wait the 90 days. Plus a NICS delay for the better part of a week (no idea what that was about). And... they insisted on collecting state sales tax of 10% of the value of the gun.
