Transfer/Heirloom question
I'm sure this has been asked before so forgive me for my lack of google-fu.
My grandfather (paternal side) would like to pass down to me his 1913 DWM Luger when he meets his maker. Hopefully this does not occur for a long time yet but I'd like to be as knowledgeable about the process as possible. He lives in NJ (I know, I know) and I'm a DE resident. Do you know what the laws regarding this would be? He purchased the Luger from a member here about 5 years ago so there is a record of transfer in NJ.
Thoughts? Paging Gunlawyer...I'm only here for the wood c-rings.

Re: Transfer/Heirloom question
Both PA and Federal laws allow direct transfers across state lines from estates to non-prohibited heirs. I offer no opinion on NJ or DE law.
Safest method would be for the NJ executor to ship the gun to a DE FFL, and then you pick it up as any other FFL-to-DE-resident transfer. But that's not required by Federal law.Last edited by GunLawyer001; July 28th, 2016 at 06:33 PM. Reason: DE

Ask that it is specified in the will to avoid issues with the executor.

Re: Transfer/Heirloom question
Being that the OP is a DE resident and Granddad is a NJ resident, the executor of the estate would need to work within the NJ estate laws and then probably a DE FFL to see what all is needed by DE law to get the gun transferred.
