If I’m not a Kentucky resident, can I still buy a handgun from a FFL dealer?

I live in PA and if you don't have an ID providing you live in PA they won't sell you a handgun. So I'd contact your local ffl and make sure he's able to transfer it into your name if you don't live in Kentucky. Know buds will ship it to any ffl dealer you ask them to send it to. Hope this helps.
Aaron, yes Sir. Online vendors such as Buds will send your firearm to your selected local FFL Dealer for transfer to you. You can walk in and purchase Long Guns at local FFL's across state lines and only handguns from FFL dealers in your state of residence. Cheers and stay safe!
Aaron, yes you can. Bud's will ship the handgun to a FFL dealer of your choice, which you will choose during checkout. FFL locator here >>> budsgunshop.com/ffl.php .....Have a great day!

Purchasing a gun online is really, very easy. We have sold thousands online since creating BudsGunShop.com back in 2003.
There are only three simple steps
Find the gun you want You pay us directly for the firearm. (Click HERE for payment options)
Choose your FFL dealer (Federal Firearms License): We cannot ship a gun direct to you, we do ship to the local FFL dealer of your choice. Any legitimate gun store or gun dealer has an FFL license; pawn shops and collectors may also have them.
Pick up your gun: Inspect your gun before accepting the transfer. Upon inspection of your gun if you find any defects leave the gun at the dealer and alert us right away. We will have it picked up for free and offer you an exchange or refund at no cost.
