Good Afternoon Lisa,
There are over 20,000 Federal, State, and Local laws, statutes, and ordinances that relate directly to the ownership, transportation, use, and carrying of firearms. I recommend that you contact the National Firearms Museum of the National Rifle Association, located in Fairfax, VA and share your excellent question with them.
To demonstrate the complexity of firearms laws across the U.S.A., please see http://www.handgunlaw.us/ . Even as the holder of a State of Tennessee Firearm Carry Permit, there are some states that – as soon as I cross that state’s border, by any mode of transportation, and I am in the possession of a firearm,…. I am immediately liable to be arrested on felony charges -- even for transporting of an unloaded firearm, in a locked box, with a separate lock on the firearm’s trigger assembly, located in the trunk of my vehicle…and additionally not having any ammo on my person, or in my vehicle.
Needless to say, I bypass those states!
Best Wishes,
Wesley

Could someone shed some light with regards to a museum loaning a pistol from its permanent collection as part of a traveling exhibit that will travel between various states? Please respond directly to: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>

Here is a link that has a clear and to the point description of the law (or you can go to the ATF website for the full legalize)
http://www.garandgear.com/cnr_ffl_03
We have obtained firearms to fill gaps in our collection for exhibits and disposed of duplicates - purchasing within our state - and paying a fee to transfer the item to a store location in our state. When we disposed of duplicates we went with a licensed seller who takes care of transportation and all the legal details to transfer ownership.
In the shortest form if you stay within your own state there are less legal issues - if you want to cross state lines there are a lot more legal issues including the ATF Curio and Relic Federal Firearm license. And what Utah requires may be different.

We have been offered a circa 1860's firearm for our collection. We are very interested in acquiring it, but our curator has researched the issue for us and feels that we need to be a certified Collector of Curios and Relics with the ATF in order to receive and transport it. We haven't had to do this in the past, but is this something we need to do from this point forward.
