Father to Son Transfer - Father Lives Out of State - Requirements?

[MAKster]

Its easy. Father brings gun with him next time he visits son. The two stop buy a local gun store and fill out the paperwork. Why commit a felony over a $20 transfer fee and 15 minutes of time?

Do we even need to have the guns present to do the transfer? I guess so, so the FFL can verify the serials... raspberries (it's like 10 or so arms).

Mountain out of mole hill = agreed.

Hmmm, maybe if we consider the guns....machine parts....

The handguns need an FFL transfer. The design of the interstate handgun regulation is one where the choke point is the transferee's (buyer or gift recipient) state. The transferor cannot ship or transport himself the handgun to a state for transfer directly to a resident there. Also, a transferee (buyer or gift recipient) cannot legally pick up a handgun in a state (other than his own) and transport it to his state of residency.

The bequest and loan conditions are exceptions to this.

Nevermind. Didn't read the whole thread.

Here is a question:

What if your dad brings the guns to you in Pennsylvannia, and stores them there til he dies? He never gives official ownership to you, and after he passes away, the guns are in your possession, and I don't see how you could be required to transfer them, since he is dead.
