Handgun Registration Question
Hey guys i had a question about an old browning pistol from world war two that my grandfather took off a german soldier. my first question is it legal for me to possess. and second it went through a house fire a couple of years back and i wasnt sure if i could have it restored without it being confiscated or me getting in trouble. Thanks for any input guys could really use some help =)

Re: Handgun Registration Question
I think your in the wrong place to ask the question. However I will answer your question in this manner. PA doesn't have handgun registration. It does have a sales data base some LEOs use as a registration data base. I have a few handguns that are not in the pa data base because I bought them when I was a resident of another state.

Re: Handgun Registration Question
If your GF gave you the firearm while both PA residents or it was willed to you...
It's yours
Just have a LTCF if you plan to carry it

Re: Handgun Registration Question
Legal to possess... Yes! In Pennsylvania handguns may be transferred from parent to child and from grandparent to grandchild without need for going through a FFL.
Take it to a qualified gunsmith and have it checked out/repaired if it's salvageable.
