I've been trying to look it up, but all these laws seem so confusing. Does any one know what the law is behind buying a gun from a private seller or getting it as a gift? I am currently an Illinois resident and I have my FOID card, but I am living in Arizona at the moment. Does any one know if I am legally allowed to buy a handgun from a private seller or receive it as a gift while I am in AZ? Or do I have to go through an FFL in my home state?

You are good in AZ as long as you are a legal citizen (rare in AZ). You dont need a bill of sale or anything. Give dude your cash and he gives you the gun. You just cant have felonies.

You Cannot legally purchase a handgun out of state if you are not a resident. If its a private seller he might but id doubt it unless he doesn't care
