If the intent is for it to go to the brother via the father, then you're likely to open a can of worms if Johnny Law ever figures shit out.

Wouldn't it be nice (and logical assistance) if the form provided a place to identify the person who is the intended recipient of the gift, thus linking the record of sale etc to the gun's serial number and streamlining the NICS.
