Was on a vacation trip week of October the 5th driving back from a family reunion in MN (which we had flown to) all the way to our little cottage in NJ. The wife navigates, which I am honestly crap at, and I drive, which she is honestly crap at. She's great at all else.
Stopping off at a WalMart in IA, we of course browsed the Sporting goods section. According to the handy political map of the U.S. found in each Wally World Gun Dept., we discovered we could use our NJ Firearms ID Cards to buy long guns in IA. We passed on a Mossberg Maverick 20g slug gun for the wife (way, way cheaper thatn NJ) and I kicked myself all the way to Ohio, the next state where we were allowed purchase rights. I bought the wife a Stoeger Upland 20g side by side at a Fin, Fur and Feather store. I felt better.
HERE'S THE QUESTION:
Where do I find a listing of what states I can make in-person firearms purchases in? We were bummed to find, at another Wally World in IN, that only IN residents and residents of states geographically surrounding IN could purchase boomsticks there. Forget IL!
Incidentally, we use WalMart as our bank when we road trip around. Buy a pack of chewing gum and you can still get $100.00 cash back, no out of state or out of bank ATM fee. We also use it, frankly, to get food and drink items we do not have in NJ. Like Bertman's Mustard of Cleveland and Squirt citrus pop (soda) which we can never find.
Thanks to all.
