Situation: I am going to get married and would like to get my best man a gift. I was planning on making that gift a handgun, however I live in Georiga and he lives in Louisiana. Neither of us are legally prohibited from owning a gun or a handgun specifically. We are 28ish years old, have no non-traffic criminal convictions, have not been disagreeably admitted to a hospital (psych. or otherwise) and are generally upstanding citizens. In addition the gift would be given to him when he visits Georgia for the wedding, so physical transfer of the firearm through the mail is also not at issue.
What I know: One can purchase a firearm and gift it to another provided that no payment changes hands (that it is indeed a gift) - this is not a straw man purchase by ATF documentation. I also know that you may not purchase a handgun in a state you do not legally reside in without having it shipped to a FFL within your state of residence prior to you taking possession.
What I don't know: The legality of an inter-state gift. Most of the documentation I can find is related to people within the same state, a gift that goes from a FF licensee to a non-licensee or rifle/shotgun purchases or gifts.
Any help or resources would be much appreciated.
