Re: Family transfer. Quick question
Yes, it would need to be transferred through a FFL.
Her giving it to your dad with intent for him to give to you would be illegal. And since (2) or more people planned such an act it would follow with a conspiracy charge on top of a violation of the UFA.
Just transfer it at a FFL and be done with it..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

Re: Family transfer. Quick question
If by firearm you mean handgun then you must go through an FFL. Long guns I *think* you can give with no FFL so long as you reasonably know she's not prohibited and a resident of PA.
Of course I am no lawyer and my knowledge of the law is limited so don't trust that blindly.

Re: Family transfer. Quick question
Thanks for your responses
I read all the transfer laws and didn't find anything on transferring to a sibling, so I felt I needed to transfer at FFL. Yes it is a handgun. And as far as intent I understand what you mean. There is no intent, but I understand it could look bad. We are all gun nuts and we like to try each others firearms. I guess I was just hoping there was a sibling "loophole". And I hate to give the state any more money. They get way to much of my money now.
I also think I should be able to give my sister a firearm, just like my father or child. IMOLast edited by TurboDiesel; August 27th, 2013 at 11:23 PM.

Re: Family transfer. Quick question
Where did the OP state they were in different states?
I thought that if both you and your sister were inside the same state, you could just give it to each other?
Regardless, IANAL and I make my own loopholes, refuse to feed the bear unless mandated.All of my guns are lubed with BACON GREASE.

Re: Family transfer. Quick question
What is the legal definition of loan?
I once sold a handgun to a guy who works with me. We both are LTCF holders. Prior to the sale, I brought the gun to work with me and gave it to him. He took it for about a week or so to try it out at the range. He liked it. So, off we went to the local FFL to complete the transfer. This is clearly a loan.
However, if I take someone to the range with me who does not have an LTCF and "loan" them one of my guns to shoot while I am still there at the range, is this considered an illegal loan? I don't think it is, but what is the the legal line...my presence?
