Bringing gun from out of state

[OrangeAgent27]

So my father has asked me if I wanted his old Winchester 30-30 and I could pick it up the next time I'm in Michigan. However, I'm unsure of how I would go about this. Can I simply bring it back with me and bring it home or do I need to go about something like this-

Any help is appreciated!

Very cool, thanks fellas!

One other question! What about driving back with it? Is there anything about it that I should be aware of?

Don't have ammo in the same compartment as the rifle - probably a bit too cautious in recommending that, but it never hurts to have ammo and gun separate.

Do the speed limits, or at least stay within a reasonable range.

Do some reading up on FOPA (firearm owners protection act)

Excellent. Speeding is a foreign concept to us subcompact-vehicle drivers.

Haha, touche. But whats smarter? Paying speeding tickets or saving hundreds on gas to spend on guns?

I'll certainly never get laid again, but the guns will be nice

As a wise man once said, guns will get you through times of no women better than women will get you through times of no guns.

Or something like that... the '60s was such a long time ago...

HUH?? Read the Gun Control Act of 1968 please. It's a transfer from a resident of one state to a resident of another. Needs a FFL and a 4473. Since the father is still alive, it isn't part of an inheritance. The father and OP could walk into a local gun shop and the OP fill out the 4473 right there and it would be legal.

Not if it's a long term loan

That was your gun from childhood, right? You are just bringing it home, right? That is legal.

I mean, my dad always just referred it to it as mine but it's really more his. But thats a great point, theres no paperwork for it, whos to say I'm not just bringing it home?

Not saving so much when you got to run premium gas - former MB employee, made Smart cars do things they should've never do.

It's your childhood gun, your just re-taking possesion of it.

So again you are openly advocating violating Federal law?

I do not agree with it but I am not going to tell someone else to break the law.
