You should be legal to buy something anywhere in your state, and even out of state you can have it shipped to an FFL in your state. Dealers, private parties on Armslist, gun shows that bring out lots of small dealers that may not even have storefronts... (well yeah, the plannedemic is restricting some of that now) but like I said, try looking for a certain K frame. Looking for a J frame should be ducks in a barrel.
