Hi to all.
Does anyone know about how to register a previously unregistered handgun? For example - Uncle dies and Aunt finds a WW2 pistol and holster stashed in the attic and wants to give it to YOU! It uses current day cartridges and is in excellent condition. The trigger is magnificent. You have a CC permit. You're really itching to get it on you CCL, but patience and prudence it the rule of the day.
Now being from NY, I was told 2 different things by two different FFL's. First one said to bring it to their shop and they will contact the sheriff in that county (not the same one that I live in or the one that the gun was found in) and they will arrange the paperwork. This would mean transporting an unlicensed handgun. There will be a modest fee.
The second FFL said to take the SN and make of the gun and bring it to the sheriff in the county of the CCL holder. The sheriff will be able to run the SN and clear the gun.
Does anyone have any experience with this? I'm sure that there are state by state differences.
Your help is much appreciated
