My grandmother (she's 90 years old) has several nice old guns. In the last year, my cousins asked her if they could have some of them and of course, she said yes. The only long gun they didn't take is her 20 gauge side by side. I really like it and she has no use for it. She hasn't touched her long guns in over 20 years. They've just been sitting in the back of her closet. Well, I asked her for the 20 sxs for my birthday coming up.
Before anyone jumps on me, she still has her .357 that lives under her pillow and a .32... so no one is leaving granny defenseless. That light 20 gauge would break her shoulder though. She's fallen a couple times and had broken bones in the past couple of years, but anyway.
Problem is, she lives in SC and I live in GA. Any technical rules I should know about? I know handguns have to go through an FFL, but long guns? It's not being sold. It's not a straw purchase. We aren't mailing it. Neither party is a prohibited person. So what are the rules?
NEVERMIND. Search is your friend. Sorry mods.
