Gift to son

[Kapenagary]

I'm going to give my youngest son my Sig Sauer P226 Scorpion for Xmas. Do I have to do any paper work to make this a legal transfer.

Thanks

If he is at least 18 yrs old, yes, there is a paper to fill out. I don't have the link but someone with it will chime in soon I'm sure.

I looked into this a while back. It's surprisingly easy.

Do look into some training and indoctrination to accompany your gift as well, it'll make a nice complete package and maybe some pretty epic father-son time.

A caution - Dad, you are in California, right? If 'yes', then easy as suggested. Son fills out the paperwork, and he needs he Handgun Safety Certificate.

Thats one nice gift. He's a lucky kid.

Thanks for the info

We're both in California and he has a HSC, is 34 years old and has bought a gun in the past. Based on the link it appears he has 30 days to fill out a DOJ form and mail to him. I'll just have to find the form.

Thanks for the help.

You should be able to pay the doj $19 to grandfather it down to your son.

Correction.
It's the form your son needs.
Your son (person receiving) fills out and sends in the form, not you (person gifting).
