Transfer of Ownership - Pistol

**marinakorp** · January 22nd, 2008, 04:02 PM

I have a question regarding the transfer of ownership of a Pistol from Child to Parent.

I am looking to get my dad a pistol.

What are the transfer processes between the two entities?

D owe have to go through a FFL to execute the transaction, or is a Face to FAce OK?

No FFL "transfer" required for child to adult

Child to parent (and visa versa) are legal in PA and no transfer required.
