    Power of Attorney - firearms

    What are the rules concerning transfer of firearms using a durable power of attorney?

    Can a power of attorney be used to transfer/sell/dispose of firearms? Would it cover PPT, out of state purchasing and/or sales?

    Let's say an out of state relative grants me a POA to purchase firearms in his name.. would that be legal provided he wasn't a prohibited person?
    Peace demands solutions, but we never reach living solutions; we only work toward them. A fixed solution is, by definition, a dead solution. The trouble with peace is that it tends to punish mistakes instead of rewarding brilliance.
    Bureaucracy destroys initiative. There is little that bureaucrats hate more than innovation, especially innovation that produces better results than the old routines. Improvements always make those at the top of the heap look inept. Who enjoys appearing inept?

    The only POA "transfer of firearms in for the TEMPORARY transfer for the purpose of disposal.

    See here.



    No you can't use a POA to either permenantly transfer,sell or buy firearms in this state or any other. Nor can you buy for anyone else or have them buy for you using a POA. Each would be a felony.
    Poke'm with a stick!

      From what the form says.. a POA can only be used under specific conditions and only for transfer or disposing of firearms... and here I thought I found a loophole.
