Title 27 Code of Federal Regulations Chapter II Part 478 'Commerce in Firearms and Ammunition'
478.29 Out-of-State acquisition of firearms by non-licensees. "No person, other than a licensed...shall transport into or receive in the State where the person resides...any firearm purchased or otherwise obtained...outside that State: Provided, That...this section: (a) shall not preclude any person who lawfully acquires a firearm by bequest or interstate succession...(b) Shall not apply to the transportation or receipt of a rifle or shotgun obtained from a licensed..."
478.30 Out-of-State disposition of firearms by non-licensees. "No non-licensee shall transfer, sell, trade, give, transport or delivery any firearm to any other non-licensee, who the transferor knows or has reasonable cause to believe does not reside in...the State in which the transferor resides: Provided, That the provisions of this section: shall not apply to the transfer...of a firearm made to carry out a bequest..."
The plain language version: The transfer of firearms from the resident of one state to the resident of another state, when neither resident is a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL), is illegal unless the transfer takes place through an FFL. Please contact management for assistance with such transfers.
There are NO provisions for the transfer of a handgun between residents of different states unless both residents are FFLs.
Additionally, 18 United States Code, 922(d) indicates that it is against the law for anyone, knowing or having reasonable cause to believe that another person may not legally own or possess a firearm, to sell or otherwise provide a firearm to that person, regardless of where the two parties reside.
