Yes I agree completely with the instruction on inter(between)state transactions. Jim has accurately pointed to my question involving transactions intra(inside)state. I had to confirm these terms for myself so I understand a casual misread of my question.

I tried to post the ATF web address to the FAQ and answers, but once I did my attempts to connect using it did not work(i don't know why?). The information I got from the site was by following this path once on the atf website http://www.atf.gov/firearms then FAQ, Firearms FAQ, ATF Form 4473-Firearms Transaction Record, Private Sales. Then question & answers: p28, p32, and p52. If you want to read them yourself? Thanks to all for your replies!
