I have a question , if someone from my family is giving me a handgun that was given to them as a gift 40 years ago ( just handed over ) , how do I go about this ? I’m from California , I have my cert
I'd talk to a CA estate planning attorney and make sure you were doing it right. In all likelihood you just have to document the transfer. But definitely a CA specific question.
I have a question, so I live in Texas and my girlfriend bought me a handgun for my birthday and i was wondering how the process works with transferring the title under my name instead of hers? Both of us are 21
My father gifted me his guns before he passed, I'm 27 in Arizona but now his wife witch he was separated for 2 years is claiming those guns are her property because they were still married, and thats not all she claimed, been trying to find my dads will he changed it dramatically the year before but surprise his wife got into his locked room just before he died of covid, plus she wont let us into my dads house to look for it, claiming everything legally hers now without a will , my dad let several people know he changed his will but we cant find a copy, he said exactly where it should be but his wife says nothing there, my dad left her nothing in the will
@@CMSLawFirmLLC I looked to try to find out if there were any laws on interfamily transfers in my state (MA) and I didn't find clear sources. Is it ok if my father gives me a revolver when I turn 18? I am 17 rn and I do have a FID.
@@Basedroider just check the laws for your state. I know in my state CA, you have to take a test to obtain a handgun safety cert, which is simple, but you can't own a firearm until 21 here.
@@CMSLawFirmLLCbro you don’t need to go through a lawyer to transfer a firearm to your friend 😂 usually you just go to the local police department and they’ll give you papers for the transfer or you go through o your local gun store where they can broker the sale for a small fee
Only time you MIGHT need a lawyer is if there’s no will and a lot of family members that may bring you to court cause they think they have the right to own it. Everything else you can do on your own by simply calling your local police chief at most for absolute clarity. This guy is just advertising for lawyers at this point.
Talk to your local police chief. They will know exactly what to do. You do not need a lawyer. Some states you can just sign transfer papers some states don’t care others require you to do it at a store so the buyer (you) can get a background check and the store will broker the sale. In my state the seller obtains a form of sale or transfer. You both fill it out. You then call the number at the bottom of that form for an authorization number which you then put on that form. You keep a copy the buyer keeps a copy then you send a copy to local police where the purchaser resides and another copy to the department of emergency services and public Protection. Then you go about your day. Every state is different, but an attorney you do not need
The easiest and most cost effective method to get the correct and most up to date information (because these laws change rapidly) is to talk to an FFL in your state. They are required by law to understand the all legal procedures. Then if you are transferring to a different state, you contact the FFL of the target state. So essentially, you will do what we call a FFL transfer which will make it legal in your residing state. This will be the same for all NFA weapons which include full auto, suppressors and sbr's.
It’s funny, in NJ you don’t have to do anything to inherit firearms. We have some of the strictest laws in the country. Also, you have to be legally qualified to own a firearm.
Year long videos a long shot but I’m having trouble finding answers that align and make sense. So I want to buy my sister a shotgun since she bought some farm land, if I gave it to my sister would it require a transfer? Or only a transfer if I sold it to my brother in law? Also would a gift purchase work in this scenario if it’s a family member? Located in Georgia
First, talk to a GA lawyer to make sure. My guess is as long as she can legally own a firearm you can gift her the shotgun (remember I said my GUESS - talk to someone to make sure).
Hello, Just a bit of information relayed from my current FFL dealer located here in CA. After extensive online research regarding rules, regulations, exemptions, protocols and penal code deciphering.....My advised personnel route for handgun transfer to me from my daughter who is currently in the service for the US Air Force and stationed in in another US state other than CA. My FFL dealer contacted the DOJ and discussed my handgun transfer. The CA DOJ notified my FFL dealer all that was required was for me to complete the Intrafamilial Transfer Form - send my $19.00 per the DOJ/CAL.Gov - CFARS website. Is there any input you can provide if any of this seems to easy or illegit for my daughter to gift / transfer her handgun to me -her birth right father. Please Advise
Wow its been 10 months?? Well..... The $19.00 x2 for two Glock pistols was cashed in by the DOJ after 3 days after the transfer forms were sent in and exactly 10 months and 1 week I received two separate letters for approval to have the two handguns registered in my name. I guess I am just glad I did not have any parking tickets or vehicle violations......the duration for the Nazifornia apptoval could have been longer!?!
I live in California and did the Intrafamilial peperwork for multiple guns and sent them a 19 dollar check. Is the $19 dollars per gun or is it for miltiple guns? It’s from my son to myself in the same state.
I'm also looking for an asnswer in California. Gun store said to go to CFARS. I tried everything from making a CFARS account that keep saying invalid Email. Intra Familial that no exact applications where to transfer the guns.
@juncapulong1911 , I actually used CFARS to transfer 3 guns, which cost me 19 dollars, and it took over a year to get the paperwork back. It works well with no issues.
@@ylafla Thanks for your reply. If you can please tell me how you do it step by step from the start to finish so I can also transfer all my guns to my son. Thanks in advance.
Hey whats up bro, I have a question I really can't find a answer to and was hoping you might be able to help. My lil brother died a couple week ago and I took possession of all of his firearms. He doesn't have any kids and our mother doesn't want anything to do with the guns. Any idea how I go about registering them into my name in cali? Any help is appreciated 🙏
@CMSLawFirmLLC thanks for the reply man. I did what you suggested and I might be a lil dumb lol I seen that you can transfer to mom or father don't see much about brothers.😮💨
It is my understanding that in Washington State all firearms (pistol or rifle) except NFA items can be given to family members without having to do an FFL transfer as long as they can legally own them. You mentioned pistols as an item that would require extra steps. Can you clarify this? My father is planning to hand down his collection to us kids and was going to do this via hand written "bona fide gift" receipt. Thanks for any information you can provide.
@@CMSLawFirmLLC WHAT??? You need to edit this response, you literally said nothing but some backwards nonsense. Frankly this whole video needs to be clarified, you speak as if you're talking in secret or to little kids or something, SMH!!!
I live in Texas, my grandfather wants to pass down 2 family heirloom shotguns to me. He can just give them to me? No further steps? One of the guns is 116 years old (1904)...this was verified via serial number. The other gun is about 80 years old. Thanks in advance for any advice.
The only time a firearm becomes a danger is when the firearm in the hands of a dangerous person. The bullets are not picky about what barrel they fly out of. Not picking on you Esquire , however I do not see the need to refer to a firearm as more dagerous or less dangerous. Just need the letter of the law spoken. You know the drill no need to say more than what you have to. 😉 thanks for the free information. 😊
My Grandpa recently gifted me two of his shotguns, I live in CA how do I put those guns under my name? I am 20 years old and I have my Firearms safety certificate, as well as a hunting license.
Yes it's way to "quiet" I had to put in my headphones just to hear exactly what he was saying. Turns out I learned not one thing from this video as he was not specific non whatsoever.
Would a video about how to fix your toilet that told you call a plumber be an advertisement, or just smart? If you want to do it right, I'd talk to an expert. Not an ad because you can't call me for help (unless you're in WA state). :)
Hi I live in N.C. and I’m 16 and I was wanting to know can my grandma give me my grandpas guns there .22 revolver pistol and a muzzleloader pistol and a shotgun I didn’t know cause gun laws are crazy now days and I probably have to be older or something
My bad. Hard to cover every single scenario in a video - best I can do is broad overview with many reminders not to go do something based off of one video. Thank you for watching!
If we're talking about the guns that are more dangerous? Well that's a silly statement. All guns including air guns are dangerous. From what I understand vocabulary and verbiage are important especially in trials. It's important we understand the difference between the types of firearms that we're talking about.
We are talking about guns that, under the laws of the United States, have been labeled as a special category of gun that require additional permits and regulations. :)
My thoughts exactly, this video overall sucked. He speaks as though he's in the audience of a bunch of school kids that need to go get more advice from their parents when they get home and as they grow into adults, SMH!!!
nate pugh what if it was done in 2012 before the law changed ? I know it was legal for a grandfather to give his grandson a shotgun without paperwork pre 2014...
Here's what you do in the state of Kentucky. You like this Glock 23, you can have it. Done
LMAOOOOOO
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
Here in Texas people just "hand" firearms down.
That's fine as long as they aren't those classified by the feds under the NFA. Talk to an attorney before you do anything. :)
What about in North Carolina
