My father-in-law lives in Florida and I live in California. He has several Colt 1911 .45's that he wants to gift to me. Can he ship them to me? or can I drive there and pick them up? or do we have to go through a FFL?
(B2) From whom may an unlicensed person acquire a firearm under the GCA? [Back]
A person may only acquire a firearm within the person’s own State, except that he or she may purchase or otherwise acquire a rifle or shotgun, in person, at a licensee's premises in any State, provided the sale complies with State laws applicable in the State of sale and the State where the purchaser resides. A person may borrow or rent a firearm in any State for temporary use for lawful sporting purposes.
[18 U.S.C. 922(a)(3) and (5), 922(b)(3), 27 CFR 478.29 and 478.30]
If delivery is made in person, no paperwork is necessary as gifts as long as they are in your home state or his home state.
Not after the new laws went into effect last September.loop said:Strange as it may seem Texas has some weird carry laws.
