Gohon,
Go back and look at the previous thread. I posted who the FFL's were!
What you seem to be missing is that the states in question have not prohibited or forbid anything regarding out of state FFL sales of long guns and they NEVER HAVE! Unless a law prohibits or forbids an action it is is legal. The Federal law used to prohibit non-contiguous out of state FFL sales with no exceptions, and used to prohibit contiguous state sales unless state law specifically allowed it. The state law was ONLY a Federal law EXCEPTION allowed by that Federal law. Now, the Federal law prohibition since 1986 is gone. With no Federal law prohibition in place, and no specific PROHIBITION in state law, the state law EXCEPTIONS that were in place are basically meaningless. In these cases there is no law PROHIBITING that act, because the ONLY law that did PROHIBIT was repealed in 1986!
And if you call FFLs and get their answers to this question...SO WHAT?!? It's not FFLs who interpret firearms laws. It is the BATFE who interprets Federal firearms laws and the state AG who interprets state laws. So why don't you call the actual experts on the interpretation of the law, both state and Federal and ask them?

AND, here's a kicker for you GOHON. You say Texas law is the same. Let's look at Texas law, shall we?
http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/SOTWDocs/PE/htm/PE.46.htm
Sec. 46.07. INTERSTATE PURCHASE. A resident of this state may, if not otherwise precluded by law, purchase firearms, ammunition, reloading components, or firearm accessories in contiguous states. This authorization is enacted in conformance with Section 922(b)(3)(A), Public Law 90-618, 90th Congress.
Wow. Looks like, according to you, Texans are REALLY screwed. They can't buy ammunition, reloading components or firearms accessories anywhere outside of Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arkansas and Louisiana. It would REALLY suck to be a TEXAN, according to you!

That is so funny........... that's information I gave to you weeks ago about the placards in the WalMart stores when you were also putting out this erroneous information. Only one big problem though, it is completely backwards. There are six states according to the statute I gave you, not 8. The six are I believe are in a green color. Oklahoma is colored blue. The rest of the states are red. They can sell to the green states but not the red states. In other words the states in green are contiguous states. Nice try but I now it is easy to see why WalMart had to suspend selling guns in some states because employees couldn't follow proper state laws.
