I'm in a very strange situation- I'm going to be moving from MA to WA and want to make sure I abide by any and all laws.
My father, a class A LTC holder, would like to gift me a high capacity rifle. Of course, I cannot currently receive this rifle as I do not have a MA class A/B LTC. However, once I move to WA, I should be able to accept his rifle as a gift.
My question is, "what are my options?"
If he drove with me cross country, could we field strip, lock-up the rifle, and store it in the trunk? If so, would I need an FFL dealership to transfer the rifle, or since (I believe) there is no registry in WA, we could privately transfer it.
If I went alone, would he need to ship it (I've already read the sticky thread on that) to an FFL in WA so that I could pick it up (I believe the answer is yes).
Last option, which I believe is ILLEGAL, is if I drove with it locked up and disassembled in the trunk, then unloaded it at my new address in WA.
Any and all help is appreciated! Of course, I'm a bit new to transferring (things were much simpler in the state I used to live in) so please be kind if I seem ignorant.
