I introduced her to it because i wanted her to respect what it is, and not to be scared of it.
as a thoughtful addition, maybe put a gift certificate for some training in the package?

I didn't realize it would be this easy. I thought there was going to be some paperwork to put the gun in her name.
Don't say that too loud or some idiot will try to pass a law. Like the others say...just give it to her. I gave my son his first gun at age 6, a chipmunk rifle. At age 18, he took possession as User said, at age 37...he gave it to his daughter.
I know it was mentioned that gifting a gun to a resident of another state raises certain difficulties. What do I need to do to gift a Virginia bought gun to a North Carolinian? Thinking of getting the old man a new piece for fathers day.
All transfers between residents of different states require an FFL on the receiving end. You can carry the gun to NC (assuming it's legal for you to do so there, I don't know about their state law - I'm talking federal here), and hand-deliver it to the FFL you choose, who can record it, do the background check, and turn it over to "the old man". Or you could just stay in Virginia and give it to an old man here; me for example.
Thanks user, I may look into buying it in NC to avoid the paperwork if possible.
