Re: Transferring handgun to my son in VA
All interstate transfers require a FFL to facilitate the transfer. Handguns must be transferred at FFL in the recipient's home state. Long guns can be transferred in any state.
The only exception requires someone to die. ...thus a transfer by bequest or intestate succession.RIP: SFN, 1861, twoeggsup, Lambo, jamesjo, JayBell, 32 Magnum, Pro2A, mrwildroot, dregan, Frenchy, Fragger, ungawa, Mtn Jack, Grapeshot, R.W.J., PennsyPlinker, Statkowski, Deanimator, roland, aubie515

Re: Transferring handgun to my son in VA
A non FFL CANNOT mail a handgun anywhere. A non FFL can use the USPS to mail a long arm but not a handgun. The giver can transport to a FFL in VA to be transferred to his son or he can take the handgun to a PA FFL to have the PA FFL use USPS to send it to a VA FFL. Or the father can use UPS or FedEx to ship it to a VA FFL but it is expensive and you have to jump through the UPS or FedEx hoops.
