I am new to all the buying and selling of pistols, but one question has come to my mind.

 

I am BUYING a brand new px4 with one of my permits. My father (a retired LEO) wants to GIVE me one of his pistols. Does the 30 day rule apply when someone is giving you a pistol and no money is exchanged?

 

 

thanks,

Josh

Yes. Think of it as Acquisition and Disposition, not buying and selling.

how about typing up a living will "i bequeath my pistol to my son today, as part of his inheritance." and having it notarized?

now it's "willed", exempted from OGAM (after filing), and follows the law.

"shall not be required for the passing of a firearm upon the death of an owner thereof to his heir or legatee"

 

Nice try.

so why not just file an exemption outright? you got the permit, you have the serial number on the gun. filing for an exemption is easy (thanks, PK90!).

IMO, not worth it if only acquiring one or two, as you have to wait a few weeks to get the approval.

So if you pass away, and you leave your guns to family, what happens to the firearms from the time you pass to the time said member gets all the proper paper work and permits to take possesion of them?

All of your assets are accounted for and then disbursed by the executor or adminstrator of youe estate.

Assuming the father is willing to wait 30 days to make the gift, just wait. If for some reason there is a rush, ask for an extension on the permits.

As long as you are not disqualifed from owning firearms, no paperwork is needed.

Yes. If your father gives it to you you need a PPP. If your father passed away and willed it to you

you do not need a permit and do not have to register the firearm.

I thought gifted pistols were exempt from ogam? still requires a Permit tho.
