But according to this thread, if he had gifted that gun to his father, there would be no crime.
And that’s one of the things Democrats want to stop.
It certainly is a complicated issue.....A couple of points, in the case of the LEO, it was a handgun, not a rifle and he also took it across state line to PA. No info on whether or not the father then registered it with his local PD........
When I inherited several handguns from my dad, I had to have them shipped from AZ via a FFL dealer to a dealer here in Michigan. I was then required to register them with my local sheriff's dept.
Lots of unaddressed questions........
No, gifts are technically illegal too. You’re safest just buying a gift certificate or giving cash and allowing the person to buy it themselves. In no case should you mention giving the gun to someone else.
