Indeed his father could give him a handgun, however for some reason I don't think this is an option for the OP's brother.

Really can you cite this?

Only father/mother and grandfather/mother to son/daughter grandson/daughter. Also husband and wife and give eachother handguns without transfering through an FFL.
That is it.

If you are right, then why are you asking us about transfering a firearm to your 18 year old brother?

Hmm I don't see the part about transfer between siblings...maybe because it's illegal.

I'm unsure honestly. From what I understand the parents can give to the children, but I don't know if the child can give to the parent.

Either way, if it was proven that the elder son, intentionally gave his father a handgun, under the agreement that it would be given to the 18 year old son, you'd be in a heap of trouble of the above is not legal.
