Transfer of handgun

[cekeller6121]

Here's the situation: I am 20 years old, turning 21 in September of 2010. In about 2 weeks I will be moving out into an apartment to attend college. I'd like to have my father purchase a handgun, and then give it to me so I can get a little bit of a head start on my target shooting and general handgun skills before I get to the concealed/open carry point. I know that he's allowed to "gift" it to me, but he's worried about having it in his name and me possessing it (300 miles away). Is it possible for him to purchase it and actually transfer it to me on paper via a [Lehigh County, PA] sheriff. Thanks alot guys/gals for your time.

I put this same response on your other post too

This also is a concern of mine also, most sheriffs won't do it .. I'm 19 and I have several handguns given to me by my mom . just make sure you follow the law and when you go target shooting keep it unloaded and in the trunk and if you do police checking the serial number should be a non-issue

I am just keeping my pistols unloaded and locked up until i turn 21 .
