If you leave a firearm at a gun shop then the dealer has to be entered into their books. If he has firearms in his shop that are not in his books and is inspected by ATF he's in a lot of legal trouble. FFL dealers know this. When you return that dealer cannot legally let you have the gun back since you are an out of state resident. To get your gun returned the gun shop will have to ship it to an FFL in your home state and you can pick it up from the FFL at home. After you pay the FFL fees for both dealers.
18 USC ยง922 (a)(2)(A) explicitly allows a FFL licensee (i.e. a dealer, gunsmith, etc.) to transfer a firearm back to an out-of-state resident that they received it from, as an exception the prohibition from otherwise transferring a gun to an out-of-state resident. (Incidentally, long guns may be transferred to an out-of-state person if the laws of both states permit that.)
