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

Re: transfer of handgun to husband
No transfer paperwork needs to be done between spouses.

I believe spouse to spouse. You can buy it, then gift it to him. With no transfer. Unless his prohibited by law.
I AM A PROFESSIONAL. DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME

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.

Re: transfer of handgun to husband
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..

Re: transfer of handgun to husband
I agree legal is legal. I just tend to be a little 'CYA' when telling people stuff over the internet. At home I rip the tags off my mattresses, stand on the top rung of the ladder to hang stuff, and mix pop rocks and cola.
After living a decade in Ohio I personally think PA is overly strict in how it handles handgun sales (Yeah, I understand the whole 'It's Philly's fault' reasoning.) I'd like to see Constitutional Carry & face-to-face sales, but when dealing w/ a first time poster I tend to be extra careful.
Plus, how often do you hear stories like, "I never knew I married a serial rapist." or 'He had another wife and family.' or 'He never told me he was arrested for marijuana possession.' Unless she knew him from birth (and not necessarily even then) and/or saw him buy guns at retail/FFL I'm going to be extra careful about what I tell a total stranger.
Bad phrasing, but pure intentions.
