Paperwork needed to transfer a pistol?
My half brother lives in PA. I live in Florida. Last year, I sold him a pistol that I had bought brand new about 4 years prior. The only "paperwork" I have is the point of sale receipt which doesn't list the firearm and a paper that shows record of the dealer buying said gun from their supplier. What will we need to provide to an FFL dealer in PA to complete this transaction?

Re: Paperwork needed to transfer a pistol?
You could ask the dealer what he wants to see; but basically, he only actually NEEDS evidence of your name and address; he needs more from the transferee, because he has to run the background check on him. He doesn't need proof that you own the gun.
Make sure that the FFL knows it's coming, that you know his transfer fee, and that you understand that if your brother fails the check, the gun has to transfer back to you (unless the dealer agrees to consign it), which will be awkward since a PA FFL can't directly transfer a handgun to an out-of-state resident. It will need to go to a Florida FFL for you, if that happens.Attorney Phil Kline, AKA gunlawyer001@gmail.com

Re: Paperwork needed to transfer a pistol?
The sale did take place last year. A situation arose in which we were kindly informed by an LEO that transfer of ownership must be completed. We were not aware of this, and as ignorance of the law is no excuse and we are law abiding citizens, we wish to transfer the weapon legally.
