Step family long gun transfer

[SirVilhelm]

I read over this page: http://wiki.calgunsfoundation.org/in...Family_Members

But I am still confused over the subject. Here is my situation. When I was 15 my step father bought me a shotgun for skeet shooting. Now thirteen years later I am out of the house and want to pick the hobby back up. My question is how do I get the shotgun into my name. I know it would be simple if he was my blood father but since he isn't what hoops if any do I need to jump through?

Thank you for your time.

You do not need to 'get it in your name'.

Long guns are not registered (yet), so no one has them in their names, unless they are 'registered assault weapons'.

It seems to me that it was a gift to you from your parent. The shotgun belongs to you. Just go get it.
At the time your stepfather gave it to you he should have filed a "Familial transfer" form with the state. He probably didn't, but that's not your fault.

I might be off on some of this, but my opinion is definitely worth what you paid for it.

The transfer form is only for handguns.

If your step father is the fellow who married your mother, he is the same as your blood father as far as this situation goes. No paperwork needed.

Thank you guys! Yes, he and my mother are still married. So as far as I gather I should be able to take possession of the shotgun without any trouble.
