Question about selling my dad's handgun

[r1ghtw1ng]

In 2009, My dad gave me his handgun he purchased. I never bothered to submit the intrafamiliar transfer paperwork since I kept it at his house mostly. I want to sell it via ppt tomorrow, my dad is unable to make it to the gun store for the transfer.

I just realized the handgun is still registered to him. What are my options? Can I print out the intrafamiliar xfer form and bring it to the ppt? Or can I just sell it as if I am the owner? Don't want to cause the buyer any headache or waste his time with a failed transfer.

Im totally trolling here, but I would never sell a gun my father gave me. Never get rid of something the two of you shared together. just my 2 cents...

I'm pretty sure the registered owner must be the one to sell it.

they're not worried about the seller. its the buyer who's butt they crawl up. what if you're selling a gun owned before the Nanny wrote down your name?
unless it's stolen you should be good.
I'm with the other poster to think twice about selling something from dear old dad.But it's your stuff.

FUD. You can sell it no problem, OP. Next time send in the $19 paperwork you lazy butt

Just show up at the Gun Store (FFL) and sell it. Bring your California Drivers Lic.

That's all you need.

For all paperwork, you ARE the Seller.

Never throw a monkey wrench into a conversation.

Thanks for clarifying, guys. This particular gun is just a tool and he is all for selling it. He just doesn't have time to do the transfer himself.

I'm going to use the funds to buy him a nice fathers day gift.

Sounds like you're making a good decision. Just bring your drivers license & don't say anything more than you need to.

i wish i would have posted soemthing before i sold a gun my mom gave me. i thought it needed to be under my name before dros, so i sent in the check and waited for the letter from doj before i did the transfer.
