Question on buying a gun out of state

[gilfo]

I plan on going to Virgina to see my daughter in college. Just for kicks I was going to shop around the local gun stores. Wondering if I came across something good could I buy it and walk out with it the same day with if the state reconizes my reciprocal conceal carry permit. I am talking about a Florida concealed carry permit. If so I would like any suggestions on fair priced gun shops in the Williamsburg and surrounding area's.
Thanks

No.
An American Commoner is not allowed to purchase a handgun outside his official state of residence.

If you will be shopping hard, the thing to do would be to carry along a copy of your friendliest local dealer's licence so you could have that find of a lifetime sent to a FFL at home as the law requires.

Better call a shop and ask .Some will sell rifles but don't think any will sell handguns.

Short answer- No.

Federal law prohibits the transfer of a handgun to an out-of-state resident. What you would have to do is have the shop ship the gun to an FFL in your home state and then complete the transfer there.

Some states allow sales of rifles and shotguns to residents of contiguous states. Handguns are not allowed period.
