Carry of a Pistol not registered in your name!
When it comes to married couples or relatives, is it ever appropriate or legal to carry a firearm that is not registered in your name? I know the complications and risk associated with it... but is it legal?

Re: Carry of a Pistol not registered in your name!
There is no complete "registry" in pa, but a party with a LTCF can carry a firearm owned by another party provided both hold valid LTCF's.
For ownership (of handguns specifically) you must still transfer @ an FFL unless the parties are parents, children, granparents, grandchildren or spouse'Last edited by RHGregory3; February 29th, 2012 at 11:23 PM.

I think what he is referring to is the Pennsylvania Insta-Check Database maintained by the PSP. All firearms transferred or sold within the commonwealth are recorded in the database, which LEO typically try and call a registry, though it is not and often can result in your out-of-state purchased or aquired firearm being confiscated illegally.

Re: Carry of a Pistol not registered in your name!
The Uniform Firearms Act specifically prohibits any form of "registration" in PA. The PSP have a small problem understanding plain English (as do the courts) and are maintaining an illegal database of sales information they are legally required to destroy. But it is entirely possible that a given firearm may not appear in said illegal database. Or it may have been pruchased by a person and subsequently LEGALLY sold to another. THe database would not reflect this either.
There is no such thing as "registered in your name".

Pretty sure we all carry Pistols not registered in our names every day. In Pa there is no registry. yes, there is an illegal record of sales, but that's not a registry. There's no registration.
According to the Pa UFA, with a LTCF you may accept a loaned firearm.

Re: Carry of a Pistol not registered in your name!
I can not cite specifics, but I think it is a reasonable move to have at least your primary carry guns in your name.
...and they have a plan...
