Gifting rifle ?

[Bobby Bass]

I want to gift a rifle, what kind of paper work do I need to transfer ownership?

[Ufatz]

Put a nice card with it,   wrap it if you'd like, and hand it to the recipient. Done.

Or at least that's the way I would do it.

[RebelSS]

None, Bobby, as long as it isn't a pistol or "assault style weapon", and the person getting it isn't a known felon. Gift away. 

[delcecchi]

You are now taking advantage of the "gun show loophole" that some condemn. 

[leechlake]

Sweet!  I've given a few shotguns away and now I can say I used the loophole.  

[Bobby Bass]

No I am not, I am passing on a deer rifle to my son in law who hunts and I will no longer will be, I  want the rifle to stay in the family. From my research as long as the rife goes to someone 18 or over and within the same state there is no other action needed. But thank you for your aways positive answer

[RebelSS]

It's no problem, Bobby. That's the way 90% of us have gotten shotguns/rifles since we were kids and back beyond. Always someone hooting about  those "loopholes".

Yes glad for the "gun show loophole" as some call it so the long tradition before there were even gun shows of passing Grandpa's guns along to grand children can still continue in this "Free for now country"  

[delcecchi]

I am all for the loophole.  I thought it might be good to remind those who might not realize the implications of closing it as some politicians have advocated.

[Ufatz]

Loophole my bleedin' hemorrhoids! It's the way most  of us have always done it and it PAINS me to see guys run for the "paperwork" to do something simple.

Things have not gotten that bad yet you guys.  And it isn't some mysterious "loophole" in anything either.

 

[leechlake]

we're just having fun with the word nothing else.

[RebelSS]

Del hadn't had his coffee yet, either. 

[delcecchi]

Just reminding folks that when they see or read folks talking about closing the gun show loophole, situations like gifting, trading, and selling are all included in what they want to prohibit.  Probably lending also.

I cleaned and put it in a hard gun case with a new lock then gave him the keys in a card,,, He didn't know what to say which was just what I was looking for

[leechlake]

giving gifts is fun.  I have more guns than cases so I always have asked for the case back

He has three little girls my granddaughters, a locking case was a no brainer for me.
