If someone bought a gun in his own state, then there would be no requirement to use a C&R. In this instance, there would be no need to log the purchase. In Michigan, the Luger is not a curio or a relic so a purchase permit is required from Michigan. If I buy or sell to/from a fellow Michiganger, the exchange of FFL licenses is not necessary. The C&R only applies to sales/purchases across state lines. I am sure that versions of this would apply in all states.

Now the question pops in my head, if all my sales are in my own state and to fellow Michiganders with the appropriate Michigan purchase permit, then why would the BATF get involved? This, it seems, would then be a state problem. Would selling multiple guns across state lines be the only cause for BATF involvement in the dealer versus collector debate?
