Hey there fellow CT friends. I have a question? My uncle wants to give me a shotgun and a .22 rifle as a gift. Is there any kind of paperwork we have to do for me to have these two long guns? Or can I just grab them from him?

We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

You can "just grab them" from your uncle, however it is recommended to fill out a dps-3c form to show proof of ownership/transfer. It is not required, only suggested on long guns.

One proviso, I'm sure you're a fine upstanding person with none of the disqualifying items against you.
If you are not a prohibited person there's no paperwork at all required. Why would you want DPS to know what you have? Keep a record of the serial numbers or fill out a DPS3 but don't send it in, they don't need to know.
