    Wife recalls that you are a steady wage earner, and are hung better than her magic bullet, and she allows you to move back in.


    Nah, probably better to give $20+ to a FFL and, bonus, you get a nifty record of the sale on a permanent database with the PA State Troopers!


    Might want to check with an immigration attorney to see how long it takes to set up residency.
    I thought that the family transfer exemption (husband wife, parent to child etc) was only for intrastate transfers, or even just a PA law. Once it crosses state lines its a federal thing.

    I could be wrong, wouldn't be the fgirst time.

    First six words of the post you quoted - "if you were to move here".
