Hey folks. I think I know the answer to these questions, but I was asked by a worry wart to verify. My Dad is moving and doesn't want to take his huge,heavy gun safe with him. Since his new digs will involve a much smaller home for his irons, he wants to get rid of some of them. They will be finding a nice home at my house. One of his guns is a nice little revolver that he wants to give to my wife.
Here is where she has some questions. Like I said, I think I know the answers, but is there any reason why he can't give a gun as a gift? I really doubt any paperwork had to be filled out on this revolver when he purchased it decades ago.
One of the other guns making it's way into my collection is a fairly new purchase (within the last year). It's a bit different since he filled out the paperwork and just doesn't want it anymore. He'sgetting old (arthritis), and I think this piece turned out to bea bit much for him to shoot. Since it's purchased in his name, does we have to document the transaction with a receipt like you would if you sold a gun privately?
Thanks.
