Re: Concerning deceased family members guns
A. All of the above is correct.
2. there is no registration of guns in PA
Thirdly, the state police maintain a registry of sale database that is illegally (by them) used as a registration. Police agencies regularly run gun serial numbers through it to determine if a gun is stolen or not.
So, people wanting to carry for protection should only carry guns that have been entered in their database, or they risk losing the gun in a roadside stop or actual usage of the gun for self defense.
Yes, even if you have legally acquired the gun, you are de-facto guilty until proven innocent.
d. Police and gun shop owners are dismally uninformed about the real laws.
Finally, you have arrived at the best resource for gun rights / knowledge in the state of PA. Welcome to PAFOA!
Correction.... POOFO.Last edited by markshere2; January 1st, 2017 at 09:24 PM.

Re: Concerning deceased family members guns
If the question, "Long guns, handguns or both?" was never answered, can accurate and complete assessment and quoting of fitting law be applied?

Re: Concerning deceased family members guns
I can't say with 100% certainty, but I would think that the fact that dad was the executor as well as beneficiary means that they now belong to dad and dad can give him either a handgun or rifle since parent to child transfers do not require an FFL transfer.I called to check my ZIP CODE!....DY-NO-MITE!!!

Re: Concerning deceased family members guns
My brother was a trapshooter so he's got what I would assume are long guns, possibly three or more and then he has at least three handguns.

Re: Concerning deceased family members guns
Given this information I don't think this is really an estate question. However I am not an attorney so YMMV. Your brothers estate does no longer own his firearms your father does.
Now you just have to follow the rules for a transfer. If you both live in PA your father can simply give them to you. No transfer. However as others have mentioned if you plan to carry you may want to transfer through an FFL ($20-30) so that the firearm shows up in PA sales database (illegal registry). If you live in separate states you have to transfer through a FFL.
Also as others have said if said carry firearm is ever used you may not get it back and it will probably not come back without some sort of damage.Last edited by QuackXP; January 4th, 2017 at 01:20 PM.
