Say an elderly man living in one state physically acquired possession of a WWII trophy handgun from another state following the death of his stepfather (within the last few years). However, the gun was always understood by the family to have been either the inheritance of the man from his natural father who died when he was a child or at the very least gift from his widow to their son when he reached a responsible age (in either case before 1968 and when everyone lived in the same state). In other words it was "his gun" since at least the 1950s, it was just being kept in a display case of both European and Pacific war trophies of the father and stepfather at the residence of the stepfather all these decades.
Is there a potential GCA violation by this first man in recent years? I don't think so since it was "his gun", but I'm not sure.
Now say the first man is living in Colorado which has all kinds of strange laws. His son lives in Arizona. The son happens to have a C&R, there are no high capacity magazines (as defined by Colorado) at issue. What is the easiest legal way for the son to receive that gun either before or after then man's death?
