Crossing a state line to get a loan subjects you to the laws of the lenders state. The recent appeals court decision in Quik Payday makes it clear that "something" has to happen in your state - other than the mere fact that you live there - for your state's laws to apply. In that case, the appeals court used the hypothetical of a Kansas resident that works in Missouri getting an internet loan from their work computer instead of their home computer. They said that if a Missouri computer was used Kansas law wouldn't apply. (They didn't say whether Missouri law or the lender's state law would apply.)
