Gun to my daughter

edited December 2008 in General Discussion
Daughter came up for the holidays from Fla. She wanted to get a
pistol for her husband for Christmas. We shopped and decided on
a Glock 26 for him. Afterwards she was looking at my small stash
and her hand locked around my Sig P225 8rounder. Well what could
I say. Tomorrow I take my Sig to gunshop to be transferred to Fla.
I will miss my Sig.[:(]
The gift to her husband came about because his son was robbed and
then shot bout a month. This kid may lose his leg and ALMOST [xx(][xx(][xx(]

    When it's a loved one, you get them what they want/need.

    A few months ago, I bought a S&W Model 36, always wanted one, finally got one.

    'Bout 2 days later, my Mom was complaining that my recently divorced sister didn't have a gun for protection.

    Well, I USED to own a S&W Model 36!!!!

    I know how it goes...my youngest daughter just found my Smith in .32 S&W Long and fell in love....

    My middle daughter has her eye on my Model 60 and my oldest has claimed my 6" 29.

    Just hoping they don't take them QUITE yet!!!

    Gotta love 'em anyway!!!!

    My Dad is currently in possession of several of mine and so is my brother. A kind of on permanent loan kind of thing. You eventually get used to it and hide the good stuff when they come over.[;)]

    Maybe I'm not understanding this, but why are you shipping it to Florida? If she is there, why not just give it to her? I'm confused?

    Sarge, Its against FEDERAL LAW to give a handgun to a person living in another state.

    You may give the handgun to a son/duaghter/relative without a FFL transfer, depending on state and or local laws.
    Sales between individuals
    An individual who does not possess a federal firearms license may not sell a modern firearm to a resident of another state without first transferring the firearm to a dealer in the purchaser's state. Firearms received by bequest or interstate succession are exempt from those sections of the law which forbid the transfer, sale, delivery or transportation of firearms into a state other than the transferor's state of residence. Likewise, antique firearms are exempt from these sections of the law in most states. (Antique firearms are defined as those manufactured pre-1899 by US federal law, or modern replicas thereof that do not use cartridges. State law definitions on antique firearms vary considerably from state to state.)

    That's "intestate" succession = without a will.

    Sorry to be picky - please forgive me.

    THank you Rob and I stand corrected.Thanks too Sarge.
    Now all I have to do is find out about the laws of
    succession Between SC & Fla

    Succession would only apply if you are dead and your daughter was taking your firearm as part of your estate. I would assume that since you are still posting you haven't quite left this Earth yet.[:D] Anywho, this is a private matter between you and your daughter, not a sale, therefore laws of sale between persons does not apply. Even under federal law a person under the age of 21 can not be sold a handgun, but an 18 y/o can be gifted a handgun.
