Thanks again. That was easy. Found one in XXXXXX, MN who charges $20 per transfer and one in YYYYYY, ND who charges $10 per. Since both brothers live in MN (one in XXXXXX and the other within easy driving distance of there), I assume I'll need to use the one in MN.

Thanks. I'll have to look for FFL in that part of Minnesota, just to be sure.

If you buy a new firearm from an FFL and then sell it to an individual, and the firearm subsequently comes to the attention of the authorities, they will be able to trace it to you. However, if your account of selling it seems credible, that will be the end of the matter.

There are some states where private sales must go through FFLs.

This brings up another question. As mentioned in another thread, I just bought a Colt Gov't Model for one brother and a Springfield XDM-9 for the other. Both brothers live in Minnesota. Neither currently holds a CHL.

I plan to give them the guns (and a couple hundred rounds each) when we go up there on vacation.

Is there likely to be a requirement to use FFL to transfer a gift pistol? A pointer to the appropriate statute(s) would be appreciated.
