Some help as to legal stuff of owning a gun as a youth and driving
(1/1)
Brady Phillips:
Ok so this isn't exactly hunting but figured someone on here might be able to help. So this summer ill get my drivers license and I'm wondering if ill (legally) be able to drive to my shotgun club?
I'm trying to do some research but i cannot find much of anything at all about driving with my shotgun. Would be nice once i have my license to drive to my shotgunning club to shoot clays every Saturday but my concern is i cant "transport" my gun due to the fact that its technically not mine for another 2 and a half years.
That also bring up the second half of if i can even be using it without my dad, the legal owner of the gun, there with me.
Just trying to follow the laws so i dont loose anything and dont want to get caught with a gun if im not supposed to have one.
Sorry for the kinda confusing post but in simple, can a minor drive with a firearm (shotgun) by themselves and use the gun.
Ok thanks in advance and hopefully someone has an idea as to answer my question.

Also, as far as transfer of the firearm.
You can transfer from family member to family member without completing any paperwork.

Believe this has to be a direct line. Father to son, etc…not valid for husband to wife, to a cousin an uncle etc…
