I often read about you guys going to a gun show and coming home with a handgun. I just need to get this straight, you go to a show, see someone selling a Colt Python, hand over cash and he hands over gun. The gun is then yours as per rules of legal ownership. Yes, that is the legal procedure in this state unless the seller is an FFL. This is a valid procedure even if one is not at a gun show; I can legally walk next door and buy a firearm from my neighbor by handing him money and he hands me the gun. End of transaction.

Where i live you have to wait up to 3 years for a licence. You also need a licence for each and every gun you own. No license required.

What are the rules for rifles and shotguns? The same as for handguns.

Disclaimer:Generally, firearms cannot be legally transferred across state lines without involving an FFL. One cannot legally sell a firearm to a person that one knows is ineligible to purchase a firearm. This is a simplification but should be adequate for the purposes of this specific discussion.
