Fed Law on interfamily transfer?

[Dogster]

With all the political #*$ going on my father, who lives back East, wants to officially transfer ownership of a Colt AR15 SP1 to me in case transfers of "assault weapons" are banned. I know I can't bring it into CA but how can we legally do the transfer under Federal Law-or is it not possible for him to transfer it to me. There's nothing in his state laws to prevent transfer. I plan to either leave the AR at my father's house back East or maybe bring it out to AZ and store it at my brother's house where I can actually take it out and shoot it. Thanks for any help!

Gun Control Act of 1968

Federal laws prohibits the transfer of firearms between residence of different states, unless the transfer is done through a FFL dealer in the recipient's state of residence.

There is no gift exemption to these Federal laws.

There is a bequest/inheritance exemption, but it requires the giver to be dead and the recipient listed on the decedent's will.


Because the firearm (Colt AR-15 SP1) is a make/model banned assault weapon, there is no way a CA FFL dealer can transfer it to a non-exempt person.

Also, there is no Federal exemption for intrafamilial transfers.
