Quick question to anyone who may have already researched this . . . My father is selling off most of his collection, but he is giving me a revolver he's had as long as I can remember. He lives out of state, but is coming to visit next month. Instead of shipping the revolver to my FFL, can he just bring it with him? Do we need to do the exchange through an FFL? Thanks! |

Felony conviction? The gun was loaned and left at the property of the son, who had to use it to defend his life. I am not aware of any law (other than certain states requiring registration) that prohibits an owner from leaving his property in the home of another regardless of what state it's in. |
By leaving the firearm at his son's residence and the son had access to the firearm, the father trasferred possession to a resident of another state, a violation of Federal law. The Feds don't care about ownership. Possession is what matters under the law. |
