firearm transfers between immediate family?

[jasonx 2]

Am I correct in my understanding that immediate family members can transfer long guns between each other freely without needing to fill out forms or get background checks, provided the recipient possesses an FID card and is not a prohibited person (felon, etc...)?

Does this apply to handguns?

Supposed to do a COE for long guns between family but no background needed. Still need to use permits for handguns, no background.

Is there a requirement to retain and produce on demand such a COE (or to file it with any government entity), by either the giver or recipient? Or can you just say, if questioned, "it's mine," and refuse to answer additional questions?

No requirement. In fact, when I gave up my NJFL, the NJSP FIU said to destroy the COEs. They didn't want them. It's really a waste of time, paper and ink.

Its really just a receipt "protecting" the seller from knowingly providing a physcopath with a gun and proof of legal disposition. For the buyer just proof of a legal purchase. There are some other remote protections like if that gun was later recovered in a crime it can be traced back to you (seller) via other existing pprwrk but you can prove its not yours...I just throw them in a file with all the other gun receipts, no harm no foul. That's all the filing there is.
