Without going into to much detail- I live a few miles from the state line. I'm 2&1/2 hours minimum and several mountain passes from any FFL's in my home state. For approximately 5 months, +/-, of the year the only way to those FFL's is an approximately 1&1/2 hour snowmobile ride and an hour car ride (if I can get a car-don't usually leave one over there). Or I can take a roughly 4&1/2 hour car ride around over multiple mountain passes.
Long guns I can get in the nearby state (both are firearms friendly). Handguns are the issue. I know for duty weapons, signed off by the chief, I can get in the neighboring state or have shipped directly to my agency. I'm not looking for duty handguns though. Are there any other exemptions that would allow getting non duty carry handguns/revolvers in the neighboring state? Or am I stuck with long drives or waiting for spring?
