Do I need to register my gun.
Hello PeopleIam new to this website and a new gun owner with a license to carry. I was given 2 guns by my dad before he died. And I wanted to know if I needed to get them registered before start to carry them.

Re: Do I need to register my gun.
There is no gun registration in PA and a gun given from father to son does not need any paper work to be a legal transfer. So you are good to go

Re: Do I need to register my gun.
Everything goon said is correct.... But we should offer this clarification:
Only if the two parties are both Pa.residents... otherwise, for an interstate transfer, even between parent an child an FFL must do the transfer (exception for bequest and intestate secession)
Other than that **clarification** to an otherwise correct point. Everything goon said is spot on

Re: Do I need to register my gun.
I guess it would depend on when he gave them to you, since you did not specify if it was when he was a Jersey resident or if it was when he was a Pennsylvania resident. If he moved out of state after giving them to you it is irrelevant.
Keep perspective, recognize the good in your enemies and the bad in your friends.

Re: Do I need to register my gun.
My dad also gave me a WW II p-38 before he died. I was wondering if the same rules apply to my gun. Please let me know.
