Re: transfer between parent/child definition
Adoption makes a child one's child for all purposes. A legally adopted child would be one's child for purposes of a transfer between "parent and child."

Re: transfer between parent/child definition
Now thats an interesting thought. The man whom i claim to be my father is actually my stepfather. He has been my stepfather since i was about 6 months old...I never knew my bio-father...so as far as I'm concerned he is my father...but i was never legally adopted by him...we've never had the same last name.
So i guess we wouldnt fall under the exemption?

Re: transfer between parent/child definition
Your mother could transfer a gun to you, your step-father could transfer a gun to your mother, providing that none of the parties involved is a prohibited person.
That's all legitimate and above board.
One scenario here; Step-dad gives mom a pistol to carry for protection, it's now hers. She isn't comfortable with it, gets something different and transfers the first one to you. It's now yours. Simple and legal.
I don't have a short temper, I just have a quick reaction to bullshit.

Re: transfer between parent/child definition
Curious about this because your post and the Statutory language doesnt make it clear. What if you met all the definitions of " common law marriage " prior to 2005 , but move to PA AFTER they changed the law ? Would you be recognized under the old standard with the appropriate " proof " or are would you have had to have been a resident of PA before the change ?

Re: transfer between parent/child definition
Something I've been curious about:
Lets say I wanted to trade pistols with my uncle. Provided neither of us are prohibited persons, I'm assuming that it would be possible to use my Grandfather as a common transferrer. As in, I want to trade him, so we each give our guns to grandpap, and grandpap gives us the other gun in return.
I see nothing in the text prohibiting such. I'm sure that some DA might want to make it seem more than it is - i.e. we are just finding a way to "skirt legally transferring" the guns, but such an assertion would be wrong as it would be a legal transfer.
Am I wrong?Sec. 21. The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned.
Sec. 25. To guard against transgressions of the high powers which we have delegated, we declare that everything in this article is excepted out of the general powers of government and shall forever remain inviolate.

Re: transfer between parent/child definition
Any sequence of events are subject to judicial review and, if the intent is readily proved to be a purposeful circumvention of a statute, it can be declared a 'sham' activity. What you're proposing, taking in isolation, appears to comport with the 6111 statute (assuming all Pa residents and not prohibited persons) but, taken in their totality, would be a 'sham' transfer IMO.
IANAL
