A close friend is getting married and I am in his wedding party. He recently purchased his own home and has expressed interested in getting a HD gun.
I'm considering buying him a shotgun as a wedding gift. Here's the legal part: I am in NE and he is in CT. Some questions:
Does he need a license, permit, registration (etc) to own, buy, possess, or transfer a shotgun in the state of Connecticut?
Am I better off purchasing the shotgun here, having my FFL ship it to his FFL, and have them do a 4473?
Or, should I call a dealer in CT and pay the dealer there (maybe buy a gift certificate?), and have my friend get the gun from that dealer's inventory? It'd be nice if he had a receipt for insurance and legal purposes.
What other concerns are there?
BTW, it'll probably be a Mossberg 500 12ga.
