Gun transfer laws regarding relatives?

[Knocker of rocks]

DON'T TELL............they'd never know when that gun was GIVEN to your relative.

While I wouldn’t recommend violating any law, I would recommend following Campmeat’s advice.

Thanks for all of the info guys. So my dad lives in Oregon and I live in Washington and he wants to give me all of his firearms, it looks like it can be done without any paperwork. Am I correct in my thinking this?

I gave my boy a handgun that lived in Oregon. Since it was out of this commie state to another commie state, my FFL dealer it would be smart to do it legal.



If you drove down to get them, who'd know when you got them....

I just bought a new shotgun for one of my adult kids. They live in Oregon and I don't want to cause any issues either. Will they need to do a transfer? The exception is for gifting to family, but does the state line muddy the waters in this case?

Who cares?  Give it to your family member and if it ever comes up somewhere say you gave it to them in 2010.

If he JUST bought a new shotgun, HOW does he say he gave it away in 2010 with a straight face?

I thought of that but the SN probably says its a 2018 produced gun. I didn't see where the WAC or RCW exception specified any state line issue.

How do they know what state you gave it to him in? You are allowed to gift to children and he is allowed to own in Oregon so I don't see an issue.

The only thing more laughable than the threat of being prosecuted for violating I-594 is lack of enforcement of immigration laws. I don't think a single person has been prosecuted?
I wouldn't worry in the slightest..

Generally, for a person to lawfully transfer a firearm to an unlicensed person who resides out of State, the firearm must be shipped to a Federal firearms licensee (FFL) within the transferee’s State of residence. The transferee may then receive the firearm from the FFL upon completion of an ATF Form 4473 and a NICS background check.

You could also go and visit your son in Oregon and the both of you visit an FFL to have the transfer completed, or he could come and visit you and have the transfer completed.

@bigtex

If he's not a member of the bar he probably should not answer this, nor should legal advice questions be addressed to him in this manner.

I wouldn't worry about it. Just give it to him. You're allowed to give guns to your family without any paperwork. I wouldn't even waste one second thinking about it.
