Question About A Transfer

[Dr. Evil]

We received my son's letter from the UC Sheriff for his permit. Like I mentioned earlier he was approved. As per usual they say before his license can be issued he has to provide a bill of sale for the handgun he wishes to register. I want to transfer one of the handguns from my permit to him for ownership. What do I need to do? Do I have to write up a bill of sale and sell it to him for like $1? Does this have to be done at an FFL? Can I just transfer it without selling it? Too much bullshit in this state to spend time researching when one of you fine folks probably have the answer. Also, he won't be back until late March. Any problem waiting until then? Thanks ahead of time.

Just write a letter that he will be co-registering the one gun with you. People do it all the time when their wives get their licenses.

What if I just want it on his permit? What's the reason why I would/wouldn't want to do that?

Before that did away with that process here in Orange, you had to have the letter notarized.

You'd have to have an FFL do it I believe. Not sure.

Some friends in Dutchess submitted the amendment for the new permit holder listing the gun they had on their permit with a letter from the father approving the coownership. After the amendment for the new coowner was completed, they processed an amendment to remove the gun from the father's permit. No FFL was involved and the new permit holder did not have to go to the permit office. In hindsight, there is an advantage to leave the gun on both permits, it is NY.

Scenarios of transport, storage, or handling the gun while he is in school is more flexible with coownership and who knows what new storage, insurance or handling laws will evolve in this god foresaken state.

In Erie they had a form by which I could transfer it off my permit to my son. Permit off, permit on, no background check required. Both of us at the same address. Think it was on line at permit office. Does your permit office have on line forms or instructions?

 

[Marine Cpl]

@Steal2B makes a valid point. Your kid is still in school. Any nonsense that happens there and the gun could be confiscated. If it's co-registered, it goes to you.

Also, you can't legally hold the gun for him in your safe while he's away unless he locks it up in a safe that you don't have access to if it isn't registered to you as well.

I don't see the downside to this. Anyone?

I agree with co-registering. Should be an easy process @Dr. Evil. Wife and I are co-registered on any pistols we own. Dutchess makes process very easy. I don't see a downside either. Unless Mini-me is afraid you're gonna get in trouble...

It sounds like you need to call the permitting office.

Every county does things a little differently. In Ontario County, my father and I walked into the office with our permits, I told the clerk that we wanted to put ALL of my guns on his permit, they did so, and we walked out about 45 minutes later.

NYS law does not require transfers between parent/child to go through a background check.

Best bet is to call whomever does the pistol licensing and ask.

His question isn't about a transfer between parent/child, it's about needing a receipt in order to finalize the permitting process, a receipt he doesn't have because he's co-registering a gun that's already owned.

Lawyer told me all upside or neutral.

Right. Which is why I suggested calling the office and asking.

 

[togmaster]

I'm pretty sure in Westchester the only let you co-register if you live at the same address.

 

[Hector Heco]

Any time I purchase a new pistol I make them put both my name and the wife's name on the receipt.

all this over a pistol .. last i knew in the news the black rifle was evil gun that just shot off randomly

 

[Mk44]

As someone else stated.. some counties are different.
Have you tried calling UC sheriff dept for an answer?

Don't know if this is possible in your county. But we can transfer "gifted" to a son, daughter, or wife. No bill of sale required.

Went to the Ulster Sheriff/Pistol division yesterday because they never responded to my email and they don't answer their phone. Two forms one of which I sign and get notarized. We will go in when he is home for spring break. $15 and he gets his permit with the gun on his permit co-registered. Pretty easy.

Let me chime in on this.

I’m from Oneida County.

Oh wait. That doesn’t mean shit to your situation.

Sorry man. Can’t help.

Au Contraire. You've helped in ways you can't even imagine.

Went yesterday and decided to co register 3 pistols on my permit with my son. He got his permit. Yay. Now for the bullshit. 3-5 weeks before he gets his gun card. Last time I bought a pistol you were able to show receipt, get your coupon on the spot and go get your gun. Not anymore. It has to go back to the judge who signed off on his permit even for sharing a firearm and not purchasing one. What a crock.
