A while back someone posted information regarding "gifting" a handgun from a father to son or grandfather to grandson.
I searched for that thread and could not find it. It had to do with not necessarily having to go to a FFL to complete the transfer? Just hoping to make sure I get the right info, and you folks usually deliver. Thanks |

From: 18 Pa.C.S. ยง 6111: Sale or transfer of firearms (c) Duty of other persons.--Any person who is not a licensed importer, manufacturer or dealer and who desires to sell or transfer a firearm to another unlicensed person shall do so only upon the place of business of a licensed importer, manufacturer, dealer or county sheriff's office, the latter of whom shall follow the procedure set forth in this section as if he were the seller of the firearm. The provisions of this section shall not apply to transfers between spouses or to transfers between a parent and child or to transfers between grandparent and grandchild. This clearly covers your circumstance. The only wrinkle I am unsure of is if it requires the residency of both in the state. If this transfer occurred while you were still here, that would definitely be legal. If it's interstate, federal law comes into play and then it must go through an FFL for that reason. --Fargo007 |
