Re: About Gun "Registration" or Transfers in PA
Only if private to private interstate transfers. The only part of a gun that is the "firearm" is the receiver whether it is assembled as a gun or not. Intrastate transfers of long guns(long gun receivers) can be shipped via common carrier to the doorstep of a fellow state resident.

Re: About Gun "Registration" or Transfers in PA
So that I am completely clear, if I call a dealer on the other side of the state and order two stripped lowers for AR-15s, can he send them to me instead of sending them to an FFL-01 and doing the formal transfer?? (Assuming I can convince the dealer that I am qualified to own a firearm).
Or said a different way, can a phone call and exchange of driver's license or FFL-02 via FAX or email satisfy the requirements for a face-to-face exchange of a long gun?
Thanks for the additional assistance.

Re: About Gun "Registration" or Transfers in PA
There is no registration of guns in PA. Please, stop using the word "registration" unless you are talking about sawed off shotguns/rifles, machine guns, suppressors, grenades, or any other NFA device.
Longguns like rifles and shotguns are treated like used furniture when it comes to private sales, trades, gifts, etc. ...no "transfer" paperwork necessary and can be passed around like a cheap hooker or a joint.
Your pistols that you inherited.. Were they given directly to you via a will or through the executor of estate? If they came straight from the will or via the executor, it should have been transferred through a FFL or the Sheriff since your step-dad isn't one of the named exempted transfers.
If that gun was inherited by your wife from her dad, then she gave it to you - then NO transfer paperwork is necessary.
You're not committing any crime by not having that handgun in your name.. worst case is that if stopped, the police will try to give it back to the last owner on record - which will be a dead man. ...Since he is dead, the spouse/heir will get it - which in turn will end up back in your hands.
If it really bugs you, just hand it to your wife, go to a dealer, then have her transfer it into your name. It'll cost $15-$50 and 15minutes of your time.RIP: SFN, 1861, twoeggsup, Lambo, jamesjo, JayBell, 32 Magnum, Pro2A, mrwildroot, dregan, Frenchy, Fragger, ungawa, Mtn Jack, Grapeshot, R.W.J., PennsyPlinker, Statkowski, Deanimator, roland, aubie515, SteveWag

Re: About Gun "Registration" or Transfers in PA
The PSP maintains a database of PSP form SP4-113 transactions.
This database is allegedly used to *assist* in gun traces persuant to criminal investigations.
AGSL sued the PSP over the "database" and the SCOPA determined that the database was not a registry (which is prohibited under 18Pa.C.S.6111.4) because it did not contain a list of all handguns owned in Pa.
Short of it is that a registry is prohibited by law and your buddy is wrong

legal acquisition?
I acquired a S&W Model 19 .357 revolver from a friend of mine about a year ago. We didn't do any transfer or go anywhere for documentation of the transactions. I'm am not even sure if he purchased the revolver or how he came to posses it.
I dont really have any concerns about possessing the firearm for target shooting, etc but if it ever comes to defending myself with it (home invasion, etc) I don't want to get brought up on some gun charge.
Does this acquisition sound legal?

Re: legal acquisition?
Between Pa. residents, Pa law (18Pa.C.S.6111) generally requires the seller to transfer the handgun to the buyer through a FFL where a Fed Form 4473 and Pa. PSP form SP4-113 is completed. There are exceptions for certain family members and other licensees, etc.
In my understanding, your friend violated 6111(c). I see no law you are in violation of for the possession. But IANAL.
You could always have it transferred now or ask an attorney for their opinion._________________________________________
