Unregistered gun and CC
Short version,,,,,,,, Father in law passed away 22 years ago. He had a Beretta he carried. The gun has been in the house ever since. I now have a permit. I have recently bought two new 1911 .45's. I have no holster for them yet and want to carry the 1934 Beretta.
Tomorrow I have to go into iladelphia and want to carry, knowing the area I'm going into is not the shiniest. What problems might I expect from this should the situation turn ugly????? What is my responsibility for this old/historic/unregistered weapon?

A gift from father to son on a handgun is perfectly fine.
Not all handguns are in the sales database and don't need to be in order to carry them with a LTCF.
Wow, those guys are quick.Last edited by P89; January 5th, 2009 at 09:07 PM. Reason: transfer was wrong, gift is correct.

Re: Unregistered gun and CC
The responsibility for this firearm is the same for any firearm and its user. Be sure it is mechanically sound, you have extensive practice with it, it is without a doubt second nature to you to use, unload, load, clear and make safe in a stressful environment.
As for the area your going and what to expect? I suspect your day will go without incident. I doubt you even really need to carry a firearm and based on the information so far provided, I would recommned not carrying until you are more versed in using it.

Re: Unregistered gun and CC
In my understanding from questions asked here previously there is no problem with this situation.
Here is why:
#1 In PA you can give a handgun to your children or grand children w/o a transfer of any kind. This was your wife's fathers gun so as far as anyone else is concerned he gave it to her as a gift making it her pistol.
#2 In PA there is no law that states you can not carry a firearm owned by your spouse.
That is pretty much how I understand the situation. My opinion was formed with the facts given. If anyone else would like to contribute go ahead.

Re: Unregistered gun and CC
Thanks you all.... so quick. Thank you for the welcome Fed (I'm over by Linville). Yes, I have some experience with the weapon and have had it cleaned and then I stripped it myself after the FFL bent the hammer. Straitened it up and all is fine now (got another hammer on order). It shoots well.
I guess the only hitch in my gitalong is that the MIL is still here, living in my home. She's 89, and loosing it. So, I presume (bad word when talking to a lawyer) is that she could let me use it also......????
