Re: Father to son transfer (handgun)
If your local government is making laws related to firearms, then I suggest you hire Edgar Snyder and sue the crap out of them. It'd be like winning the lottery.
I open carry all the time, everywhere in the state. ...hell, I even travel to WV and VA and open carry all the way.
Like I said before, if you get arrested for doing something you are lawfully allowed to do, and doing so is a right - you have the potential to be a rich man.
If you look up disorderly conduct or disturbing the peace, there is nothing that can be construed as to making open carrying a violation.
About the tactical advantage thing, there is some truth to that. But I challenge you point out one documented occurance that it has happened to a plain person.

Re: Father to son transfer (handgun)
Does anyone know if the father to son transfer exceptions also apply to step siblings, for example: step-father to step-son

No step-anything transfers without an FFL or Sheriff.
Must be direct blood relation.
If Father has stepson (not adopted), father could give to mother who could give to son, but not father directly to stepson.

Also, just to be complete, "paperless" transfers within a family require that both be Pennsylvania residents. Any interstate transfer (except a bequest) has to go through an FFL per Federal law.

Re: Father to son transfer (handgun)
I hate to revive an old thread but it's relevant to my current situation so I'll do it anyway...
I know that the PA laws allow paperless transfers between family members but I was wondering how that would apply to potential civil lawsuits. My Dad is going to transfer a pistol to me, but is worried about not having proof from an FFL or notary. He's worried that if an accident were to occur with the gun he could be held liable in a civil lawsuit because the original gun transfer was from a dealer to him. Should I go through an official ffl transfer just to be safe or is that unnecessary? Thanks in advance.

Re: Father to son transfer (handgun)
It's not necessary. If he really is that nervous he can create a bill of sale. He can use this one if he wants:
http://forum.pafoa.org/firearms-6/32...-free-use.html
Just use a price of $0 or write down gift. Have him keep a copy for his records and yours and you're good to go.
Question though, why would he be worried about an accident occurring with the gun when he's giving it to his son? If he's that worried he shouldn't be giving you a gun, end of story. My dad has transfered guns to me without paperwork withou any qualms whatsoever (and he's a lawyer).I am not a lawyer and nothing I say should be construed as legal advice.
