transfer of handgun to husband

[/dev/null]

If I purchase a handgun for my husband how do I go about giving it to him as a gift legally?

If you need a second husband.... Im willing to accept gifts of firearms

You can wrap it in a box and hand it to him wearing something sexy.

You need not do anything but give it to him as you would any other gift.

Of course he can't be a prohibited person.

I don't know how you go about legally buying the firearm and filling out the paperwork legally. I guess the question about "buying for someone else" doesn't apply to gifts but to situation where you are acting as that persons agent. In this case you'r acting as your own agent to GIFT it. I don't know if that's legal. However i know if you say you'er buying it for someone else you'll get rejected.

If ya do it this way ^^^(in bold)
You will need to post pictures here.

My husband gave me a gun last year but my son actually did the purchase.

No transfer necessary.

BTW., I got my husband a bread machine

Thank you for this thread! I want to get my wife a .380 as a surprise and was wondering this myself. So basically I can just buy it and then give it to her. I am in the process of her getting her LTCF so if she carries it there is no issue right? On the flipside I gave her my gun wishlist so now I know she can just buy it, wrap it and give it to me.. Great news..

Just a side note for both of you - unless you are sure that the gun you are buying is the one your spouse will want, save your money. Give them a gift certificate good towards the amount you want to spend for the gun shop. Otherwise you might be making a very expensive mistake. The feel of a gun is very subjective, and what you think a person might like can be completely different that what they really will like, and that translates into using it or not using it.

Very good point. I had been saving up for a Kahr CW9 and he knew it. The first gun he bought me, I hated. It was a Beretta Tomcat and I ended up selling it and I got a different gun. About a year later, he was looking for a small pocket gun and ended up buying himself the same model gun that I had sold. He paid more for it than what I had sold mine for. He could have just kept the Beretta for himself and it would have save us some bucks. In cost and transfer fees.

Have him go to the gun store and do the paperwork. <--Most legal way .

A x-fer between spouses is 100% legal if both spouses could legally buy the pistol. If you are buying this for him becasue he can not legally do it himself, that is very, very illegal even between spouses. Don't do that.

So a transfer between spouses, children/parent or grandchild/grandparent is less legal than doing the paperwork yourself???? Just when I thought I'd heard it all

Legal is legal. A woman buying a gun and giving it to her hubby is just as legal as him buying it himself. No less, no more.

no flames, just a little smoke
