Target
6.5 Creedmoor
I see that a parent can give firearms (non pistol) to children and step children without having to go through a FFL.
Can they go from child to parent as well?

This seems crazy to me.
So, if I have a permit, and my buddy has a permit, and we each want to co-register our handguns on the others permits (so that if one of us dies, the other can take possession of them legally and take reasonable time to dispose of them ,- not the 15 days they allow), we would each have to pay to run NICS checks on EVERY gun being co-registered???
And not only that, - but then how does that information get conveyed to the PPO?
If I go to a gun store and lets say i purchase 3 handguns.
How many NIC's Checks do I have to fill out? ONE!
I would then get 3 coupons to take to the ppo for the mandatory REGISTRATION. I think Alan is confused.
The whole transfer via NICS check is so they can find out what people had prior to the NICS transfers.
I'm not sure about that. It's possible, I mean, who knows? As far as I know, it's just for making sure the person isn't a felon or isn't able to own guns. A transfer is just a sale w/out money (well, ideally), so you have to make sure the other person is still good to go. I think. Otherwise, why would I have to pass one when I bought a lower? I already passed one when I bought my Shield, or when I bought my shotgun, or whatever else. My guess is that things could have changed since you last passed one, so you have to have your math checked before you move on.
Just a guess though, I really have no idea.
I think that on the surface, Cleck is correct. However, I wouldn't be surprised if they were also recording serial numbers. Then again, I don't think I recall the Dicks dude telling them on the phone what gun, specifically, I was buying. I think they just said "long gun" or something, when I bought my last shotgun.
The way I understand it to work is as follows:
* Buyer & seller go to FFL
* FFL takes gun into their books
* FFL runs NICS check on new owner, and gets either a: go, delay, or denied
* If a "go" is given the FFL then transfers gun to new owner, thereby relieving the original buyer of any connection to the firearm
So does this mean that we still have to go to a FFL and 4473 the transfer ?
The only difference being is that the FFL does not have to call in the NICS.
Or can I just hand it over with a " Don't shoot your eye out, kid" and we're legal?

Hope you're not in NY.
I was on mobile when I posted that, I don't recall seeing any location in that view. Now I see you're in Kentucky.I'm not (look at my location!)! I live in America!
That is correctFrom what I remember reading, the FFL doesn't actually put the gun on their books until the buyer passes the background check. I think I remember reading that in a letter by the NY State Police. If the FFL puts the gun on their books and the buyer gets denied, the seller would have to pass a NICS check to get his firearm back from the dealer.
Have we forgotten? Police are not required to play the game by the rules. They enforce the law only, well kinda, sorta, sometimes.Now that I think about it, I didn't get a NICS check when my brother transferred his pistol to my permit. I turned the gun over to the police, they ran checks on it to make sure it wasn't stolen or involved in anything, then they gave me a ticket, I went to the clerk to have it added, then picked it up from the police. Reason why I turned it over was because he brought it in from Virginia when he came home from the Navy, he doesn't have a NY permit. There was no FFL and no NICS check required.
