Why is taking out of state illegal. If I want to hunt in OR with my Colt AR 15 (I live in WA) I just pack it up and drive to OR. If when in OR I happen to find a fellow that is interested in the weapon and wants to purchase it, we just go to an OR FFL, the FFL does the paperwork and the other guy now owns the AR...

Exactly the same if I was to take my pistol out of stste. I can transfer the pistol to an OR resident, through an OR FFL, even if I walk through the door in OR with the pistol on my hip.

Absolutely legal. BTW, that AR is worth quite a bit of money $$$$ right now. It would be definately worth the trip to VT or NH, even if only to sell it wholesale to an FFL.

IMHO: Mr "Turn it in" wants it for himself.
