Transfer of a firearm
Ok guys. I usually know the answers and maybe i'm thinking a little too hard on this one. Here's the situation:
The father lives in NJ and the son lives in PA. The father wants to give the son a handgun. Now i know under PA law if both were residents of PA he could hand it over to him and have a nice day. But my mind is thinking about the interstate commerce and how NJ laws work into this since the seller is a NJ resident and the firearm is registered in NJ. Oh and before anyone asks, the son is over 21.

Re: Transfer of a firearm
Centre County Sheriff's Dept will NOT do transfers. They will refer you to a gunshop. I called to ask them this question in response to a thread a while ago na dthe deputy said the same thing they really don't have the time to do things like that. They are very good though when renewing a LTCP, go in fill out the paperwork, pay, get permit, walk out.

Re: Transfer of a firearm
Most gunshops I've found will do it. Basically if the recipient is right over the PA border, it should be a simple matter. However the giver in NJ may have to notify local police that the firearm was transfered and ask what paperwork, or copies they require.
Now if it's the other way around...good luck.
