[Mrcheese]

hey guys i dont know where to post this question so ill post it here and hope i dont get flamed lol.

my father lives down south and he wants to give me one of his rifles. What would be the best way to handle that transfer?

It must go through a FFL for interstate transfers. Relationship between the parties does not matter.

For long guns - it can go through a FFL in any state.

For handguns - it must go through a FFL in the receiving party's home state.

The only exception is for bequests and intestate succession - which means someone must die first and leave the guns to another in a will or inherit them via family relations.
