You cannot buy a handgun from an out of state dealer and take possession of it in a state that is not your residence. You can buy one and have it delivered to a FFL in your home state and take possession there after completing the NICS paperwork (that's what you're doing with on line purchases).

Long guns may be purchased out of state.
