Transfer ownership of firearm???

[Recurve-Elk]

Hey guys, I turned 18 in February!  So here is my question, my mom bought me a 410 shotgun when I was 14 or so.  How do we legally transfer ownership from my mother to myself so the gun is in my name?

You don't need to register a long gun.  She can simply give it to you and tell you it's yours.

And you don't register handguns either. This is Washington State, not Washington DC!

Awesome!  Good news, thanks guys!  A relief I don't have to go through some dumb transfer process!

Just be careful who you buy from. If it turns out to be a stolen firearm and it ever gets checked by a LEO, you'll have some explaining to do.

His mom is giving it to him.  So he should be alright in that sense.  unless she bought it hot or dirty.  lol
