Before regulations and laws passed in 1968, it was easy to buy guns interstate, by mail-order.
"Catalog Companies" could ship or mail right to your home, without dealers or Federal Authorities being involved.

You complied with state and local laws. The consequences for 'breaking the law' were real.
