Gun ?

Postby turkeyman » Wed Feb 06, 2013 4:00 pm

How easy is it to transfer a gun you bought from someone into your name. Gun was bought years ago and I don't have any of there information.

Why would you want it in your name? You dont have to register your gun and with the way things are going I would rather them NOT know what I had at home...

Heck, I'm even glad to find out that the guy I bought some of my guns from years ago has sold his business and retired.

More than likely its not in their name either. There is now way I would register a gun.

How would you actually go about this? Ask someone with FFL to run check on you? Go to your local sheriff dept and tell them the story?

Listen to everyone the gun doesn't have to be in your name. If you shoot somebody and the gun isn't hot then your fine.

Just get a cop buddy to run the serials. If it comes back "with history", then you may have issues. Otherwise, let sleeping dogs lay.

As far as I know the only guns that have to be registered, or can be for that matter, are full auto, short barreled rifles or shotguns, and/or suppressors.

Like Joel said, get a LEO friend to run the number on it so you can be sure it wasn't reported stolen or known to be used in a crime at some point etc. Other than that you sold it years ago... :wink: :mrgreen:

You can go to a U. S. Customs office and have it "registered" in your name. They will identify the gun and the serial number and give you a form. Like the others said....I don't think it is necessary.

+1 There is no registry of guns unless they are restricted such as the ones listed above. This is what the NRA is fighting against right now. If its a new gun you might could update the registration with the manufacturer for warranty purposes, but its probably no necessary.
