FSC and Inheritance Question

[Phobia42]

Hello, I will soon be inheriting a hand gun from my Father, and want to get my Firearm Safety Certificate before I take possession. The part I am confused about is the safe handling demonstration. The gun store I called said that since I will not be purchasing a gun, I could come in, take the test, and if I pass, be issued the certificate with no safe handling demonstration. Then I believe I can take possession of the gun, file a intra-familial form with the DOJ, and be done.

In this circumstance, can anyone confirm that I won't need to perform a safe handling demonstration during any of this? Thanks!

That is correct.

Go to LGS and take the test, pass and get your FSC.

Get your inheritance, sorry for your lost, and fill out the OpLaw form and pay the fee.

Take your new gun out shooting in memory of your loved one.

If your family is here no safe handling get your fsc and file Oplaw and pay 19 bucks no ffl involved.

I just checked the DOJ web site, and it appears to be silent on the requirements re a safe handling demonstration. The safe handling requirement applies to firearm purchases, not taking the test and getting the certificate. Two separate actions. No gun handling is required to get the certificate.

Thanks for the great information, everyone!

You can go to pick up the firearm. He can come to you no problem.
