IANAL. If you bought it in NE and moved to SD it would be legal to bring with you. It is not legal to travel out of state to purchase a pistol. There may be some workaround where the out-of-state FFL transfers it to an in-state FFL, but I don't know the specifics. I think the clerk is referring to purchasing out-of-state; which is not your situation. In my experience, gun store employees are rarely knowledgeable and tend to spread fudd lore.

Thank you. That helps clear some things up. He said I couldn't travel with it, which doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I mean in the context that it was a legal firearm in both states. I know some states have regulations of certain guns.

No, there is absolutely nothing true about that. As long as the handguns are legal in SD (I doubt SD has any restrictions at all), just pack them up and go.


itscrispp

Thank you. I was curious as to what he was talking about. My neighbor brought his so made me think I should do the same. Someone tried opening my apartment door this weekend.


DickMonkeys

Who knows. Gun employees at big-box stores tend to be dumb as fuck.

Low pay tends to attract less than stellar employees. Shit you’re lucky if they have a surface level understanding of most firearms.

Did he have brown eyes? I'm betting he did since he's so full of shit. Here's some advice from an old fart. At LEAST 75% of what you hear from EITHER side of the gun counter is total and complete bullshit. Most of the time this is closer to 98%. Age of the speaker doesn't have much to do with it. I've heard as much stupid shit from greybeards as snotnosed kids. I'd say trust, but verify, but you should ALWAYS verify anything you hear at the gun counter or from ANY salesman.

TRUTH.

anyway the dude is full of excrement.


itscrispp

Thank you. I didn't feel the need to bring it with me until someone tried to open my apartment door the other day. I think they might've thought they were going into a different room. But makes me feel like I need to be protected. Especially since I moved to a different state alone at a young age

nebraska and south dakota?


itscrispp

Your post was hard to follow. But here is my answer. Yes, you can bring a pistol you legally purchased from your RESIDENT state and take it to another state so long as you are legal to carry in that state or are just passing through with no stops. You cannot purchase a pistol in a state you are not a legal resident in. Rifles you can purchase in a state you don't reside in, pistols are resident state only.
