Well thank you for letting me know this. There is no way that he can go to a store to buy it or sign any paperwork. He's totally disabled and pretty much confined to his chair (unable to defend himself using any physical force hence the reason for the gun in the first place). My sister or mother will have to buy it I suppose.

I'm glad that I didn't become a Felon by doing what I wanted to do.

I will either ship it FFL or hold it until I take a trip up there again.

Even if you take a trip up there, I think you have to transfer it to him via an FFL in PA.

Again, the gun isn't going to be his. It's mine and will always be mine. Same thing as my old childhood shotgun that I left up their. They are free to use it, but at no time will it not belong to me.

We understand that, but the ATF will still consider it a transfer.

I guess I don't see it that way. So I'm not allowed to keep and store guns at someone elses house? How is this different from me leaving a car up there and letting them drive it? I'd still be the owner but they would be the users.

I'm not trying to argue, I just don't understand. Since I'm not reqired to "register" a gun in either TX or PA why does it matter where I keep it? The truth is my dad isn't in very good health. When he's no longer with us, I'm bringing my gun back to my home in TX.

I don't see why the ATF needs to get involved in the storage/use of a gun when ownership isn't be transfered. My father will not be free to sell that gun to anyone because he'd not be the owner of it.

I know our Govt has some really screwed up laws, but I'm truly lost on this.
