New to OH. If I buy a gun from GB or Bud's, does the FFL have to charge sales tax on the purchase price? Thanks all!

if the seller is out of state and has no physical presence in ohio you do not pay sales tax on the purchase.
Ohio Use TaxYou mean tax due is not collected it at the time of purchase. I'm sure you all list that purchase and pay the sales tax due when you do your taxes
No tax due as long as the seller doesn't have a store in Ohio. Of course everyone lists out of state purchases on their Ohio Income Tax.
Not sure of this answer, but a few states have agreements with Ohio that they will collect Ohio state sales tax on mail order purchases. I think Illinois is one.
The way the question is asked is somewhat confusing. If he purchases a gun and its sent to an OHio FFL for the Transfer, the Ohio FFL should collect sales tax and would likely charge $25 or so for the paperwork.

The ohio FFL should only charge sales tax on the FFL transfer fee. Most do this on a flat rate like 20 or 25 bucks. If he paid the originating out of state shop for the gun that shop should not charge sales tax.
I for one have never been charged sales tax on Illinois mail order gun purchases. Not sure on the transfer fee being charged sales tax as my FFL doesn't charge me any transfer fees.
Gun purchases made out of state are purchases made out of state and are not Ohio purchase sales.
