    On a more practical “where can I buy a gun” level, https://www.gunbroker.com/ is basically ebay for guns, serves the whole USA, and has been very reliable for me over the years. The catch is the guns are not mailed directly to buyers, a local gun store acts as middleman to receive and you go pick up from there. Saves a lot of time and money if you know what you’re looking for.

    For knowing the law in your state about you can and can’t own and carry, start here:

      Just as general advice for those new to online gun purchases. Please visit or call the shop you’re shipping the gun to give them a heads up. Often they usually have a nominal fee for taking delivery of and storing the weapon until you can pick it up. Also they’ll securely store the weapon until you pass any needed background check.
