question i haven't been able to get answered
the law states that transfers between parent and child require no background check and are perfectly legal - this would mean that sales between the two would be fine also from what i undestand. if this is the case, then why does everyone always keep talking about "gifting" ???

Re: question i haven't been able to get answered
If your father gave you a Christmas (birthday, 4th of July, Bar Mitzvah, etc.) gift of a firearm that would be construed as gifting a firearm to you. If your Dad needed some money and didn't want you to "give" it to him, he could sell you a firearm and no paperwork is required.
Hope this helped.Ron USAF Ret E-8 FFL01/SOT3 NRA Benefactor Member

Re: question i haven't been able to get answered
(c) Duty of other persons.--Any person who is not a licensed
importer, manufacturer or dealer and who desires to sell or
transfer a firearm to another unlicensed person shall do so only
upon the place of business of a licensed importer, manufacturer,
dealer or county sheriff's office, the latter of whom shall
follow the procedure set forth in this section as if he were the
seller of the firearm. The provisions of this section shall not
apply to transfers between spouses or to transfers between a
parent and child or to transfers between grandparent and
grandchild.
says noting about gift, actually says transfer.

Re: question i haven't been able to get answered
a person must be 18 and older to posess a firearm (pistol, rifle or shotgun) but 18 to BUY a rifle or shotgun from an FFL, and 21 to BUY a pistol from a FFL.
buying rules from FFLs is different than from buying from a private citizen, and different from transferring from some family members, as pointed out.
under 18 may not posess a rifle or shotgun without permission, and under 18 no pistols with out supervision or permission from a parent or guardian, including a written notice if not supervised ...for a farm/ranch/work situation.
thats pretty much how it works."Oderint Dum Metuant" - BMFH

Re: question i haven't been able to get answered
Now I was aware of the family member gifting scenario, but am I correct in my reading. I can not give a gun to my brother or sister, only to my daughter, parent, or grandparent?

Re: question i haven't been able to get answered
Federal straw purchacing regulations are why we call it "gifting" You can not buy a gun with the specific intent of selling it to another person, even if that person is elligable to own a gun. There is an exception for guns given as gifts.
So sayeth the BATF.

Re: question i haven't been able to get answered
That is kind of stupid! This is just a rhetorical question, but why can I give it to my daughter, and not my brother? I just don't see any logic in this.
So would this be ok? Not that I plan on doing it, but just curious. I give a gun to my mother, who then gives it to my brother. Sounds like it would be legal, but I could be wrong
