IF you do plenty of research and know what you're getting, buying a gun online from a reputable dealer from elsewhere via credit card and then receiving it at a local gun shop is quite painless... Just understand that you can't easily be deciding to send it back and void the transaction once you get it in your hands and inspect it... You can't heft it and get the feel of it before you decide like you can at a gun show or your local gun store.

But, then, the upside (of living in this digital era) is that you can list any gun (that you're not particularly fond of) on a site like armslist.com and sell it yourself locally if you use some common sense and discretion (and a good photo or two).

Gun buying/trading is more "fluid" than it used to be.
