Re: handgun transfer question ???
That isn't possible. The only legal way to acquire it in the first place would be to have it gifted to him.
This will be interesting to see how it plays out. I don't think it would be a problem though. As long as you are a PA resident with valid PA ID and as long as the transferee is 21, I can't imagine it would be an issue."Because I'm an American." - MtnJack

Re: handgun transfer question ???
There is no paperwork to be done on a gift from parent to child or grandparent to grandchild or spouse to spouse. If the buyer is of legal age (over 21) and can lawfully own a firearm any FFL can complete the transfer. There is no where in the BATFE bound book that asks for the age of the seller. The bound book has the name and address (and anything else the FFL wants) of the person selling the firearm as well as that of the buyer. The PSP Record of Application/Sale also has the transferer's information.

Re: handgun transfer question ???
D-FENS,
To be truthful, I don't know at this point. The law just says parent-child. It doesn't say birth parent so I would guess at this point that giving one to your stepdad would be ok. I will however, do some checking and see what I can come up with. That is a very good question you came up with, I don't think it has been asked before.
If anyone out there can help answer this question, please do.Ron USAF Ret E-8 FFL01/SOT3 NRA Benefactor Member

Re: handgun transfer question ???
i've dealt with that crap my whole life because the only dad i ever really knew is my stepdad and he's who introduced me to guns... so we just always told my mother if anyone ever asks he gave it to her and she gave it to me. keeps life simple
