Gun question

[TeddyBallgame]

Can a rifle be purchased new with more than one person being owner?

I ask because I think i'm getting close to buying my first AR

Im 56 and my son is 24...is the AR ends up non transferable that could suck

So, I'm thinking about just getting it in HIS name, or, both names, if possible

I would hate to see loss of the firearm if either of us die

A weapon has a single owner.

You can't get it in his name, per se. He can get it in his name, or you can get in in your name and do an inter-familial transfer to him.

Easier if he gets it in his name.

Get two or have him buy his own

yeah I understand that part, he would have to come and basically purchase it...with MY money of course, just worried that if something happens to him, after a ban, the gun could be a lost cause

It could be a lost cause, just as it is now if a RAW were only registered to one person.

The purchasing process allows only one buyer's name.

IF CA requires registration, it may allow (but I doubt it) multiple registration names as it did in 2000-2001.

So why can't he buy it and after its at home sitting on the coffee table, tell his son "ok, now this rifle is yours unless you tick me off and then its mine"

its my understanding there is no paperwork to do on a father son or son father transfer. Its just, Here ya go!

These threads come up every now and then and nobody seems to really come up with a simple answer or doesn't want to post a simple answer.

At this point in time, its just a long gun, right?

I'm basically thinking further down the road, if they are banned, word is they won't be transferable to anyone once the original owner dies...anything to eventually dry up the supply

Buy the rifle for yourself, and buy a stripped lower for him. Worse comes to worse, he can move all the parts off your lower and put them on his.

Is this a RAW? if not, how are "they" going to know who the original owner is?

These are questions I'm asking, not answers..

They won't.

However, starting 01-01-2014, they will start to know.

On 01-01-2014, long gun registration goes into effect.
Which means all firearms that are transferred will be registered to the person acquiring the firearm.

well, that is a relief because I thought it was 01-01-2013 that it went into effect...I have some time now...thnx

Just buy the gun, and it can transfer freely and instantly between the two of you. Until next year, there's no long gun registration, so it doesn't matter at all. As long as neither of you are prohibited persons, you're good to go.

The best answer is to buy a second stripped lower. Cost an extra $150. When you pass on, just swap all the parts to the other lower he purchased.

thats if he hasnt built that second lower into a rifle

when I die all the state is getting is a few stripped receivers, there is no way I am allowing my family to give the state several thousand dollars of gun parts.

If the OP does not mined I'd like to expand on this question . My plan is to transfer a complete AR to my son . This way if any of the new laws will prevent me from doing so latter it will already be done . Here is the question , I have no intention on giving him the gun right away .

Can he legally keep the firearm at my house if he lives in a different city or at my house period ?

What would happen if Im out shooting and for what ever reason the cops see that the gun is not really mine but my sons ?
