Re: Question about handgun transfer
Yet more evidence that gun shops are the worst possible place to ask for legal advice.

Re: Question about handgun transfer
You've gotten the correct answers, and we all agree that the law is both stupid and widely ignored. The consequences are serious, though. Saving that $50-75 on shipping and a transfer fee can cost you a whole heckuva lot more if things go haywire.
Because I'm sure someone will either ask, or is wondering: it doesn't matter if it's a purchase or a gift. It's a transfer, and federal law doesn't care if money changes hands.
The only exception is if the guns are inherited upon death, you're free to take them back interstate without going through an FFL.
