My question is, what are the rules regarding me taking ownership of the gun? Do I have to take it somewhere and have it registered in my name, or is this unnessary? If I do need to have it registered, where/how do I go about this?
My other question is, how do my mother and I go about selling the other guns? Can we simply take them to a gun store and sell them? Can we put an ad in a newspaper/magazine?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No bud,
In PA we may trade or give family members(brother, sister, Mom, Dad, Gramps, Grandma etc...) long guns and pistols. Just take possession and enjoy the inheritance.That is the law. By the way, that only applies to family. To sell a handgun you must go to a dealer and have them do a PIC check before the buyer can take the gun.
