Some Reminders from NSSF"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>The following is an excellent reminder from the National Shooting Sports Foundation on purchasing firearms as presents or gifts this holiday season:<\/p>\n<p><em>The holidays are just around the corner. As hunters, shooters, collectors or just plain plinkers, it\u2019s a natural instinct to want to share our enjoyment of firearms with others. What better way to do that than to make a gift of a firearm to a family member, close friend or relative?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The first thing to remember if you\u2019re thinking about giving someone a gun is that . . . it\u2019s a gun! You already know that ownership of a firearm brings with it some serious legal and ethical obligations that other consumer products don\u2019t. So let\u2019s look at some questions you may have about giving a firearm as a gift.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The first question you have to ask is whether the intended recipient can legally own the firearm where he or she lives. More than 20,000 different gun laws on the books, even the kinds of firearms that law-abiding citizens can own vary from place to place; for example, juveniles (under age 18) generally speaking are precluded by law from possessing a handgun. Check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atf.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"giving-firearm-gift-reminders-nssf\" title=\"Giving a Firearm as a Gift? Some Reminders from NSSF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) website<\/a> for an overview of local laws and, whatever you do, don\u2019t forget that you can never under any circumstances transfer a firearm to someone you know \u2014 or have reasonable cause to believe \u2014 legally can\u2019t own one. That\u2019s a federal felony, so be careful.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Though there\u2019s no federal law that prohibits a gift of a firearm to a relative or friend that lives in your home state, some states\u2014California for example\u2014require you to transfer the gun through a local firearms dealer so an instant background check will be performed to make sure the recipient is not legally prohibited from owning the gun.<\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_27467\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/holiday.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"giving-firearm-gift-reminders-nssf\" title=\"Giving a Firearm as a Gift?

That way he\u2019ll get the exact gun he wants, and there\u2019s no question about who is \u201cthe actual buyer of the firearm,\u201d which is a question any purchaser must certify on the Federal Form 4473 at the time of purchase.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>You can only ship a handgun by common carrier (but not U.S. Mail) and a long gun by U.S. Mail or common carrier to a federally licensed dealer, but not to a non-licensed individual. With all carriers, federal law requires you to declare that your package contains an unloaded firearm. To be safe, always consult your carrier in advance about its regulations for shipping firearms.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>What if you want to give \u201cOld Betsy,\u201d your favorite old deer rifle, to your son or daughter as a college graduation gift? Again, in most states, there\u2019s no law that says you can\u2019t, but some states require even inter-family transfers to go through a licensed dealer. Remember, you can never transfer a firearm directly to another person who is a resident of a different state. In that case, you must transfer the firearm through a licensed dealer in the state where the person receiving the gift resides. Using a gift certificate from a firearms retailer near where the recipient lives might be a good solution. Pre-1898 antique firearms are generally exempt from the dealer requirement. Be safe and check with your dealer or local law enforcement before you hand over your prized possession.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>It\u2019s often an emotional moment when a treasured family heirloom is passed down to the next generation. These moments are part of what our cherished enjoyment of firearms is all about and represent that unique bond that sportsmen have with their fellow enthusiasts.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>So enjoy the holidays and do it right!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;It\u2019s often an emotional moment when a treasured family heirloom is passed down to the next generation.
