I would take advantage of this in this situation.Plus you can still transfer a long-gun between immediate family members without going through an FFL.
The only real issue is if there was a divorce, they aren't hers. Usually doesn't matter.Me and the wife have done this many times. We refuse to get a second HQL, and MD hasn't F***ed this up yet. Married, living together and neither of you prohibited, you 2 can share whatever guns you want - including handguns, which I just buy on my HQL which I resisted getting at first.
Newly weds - totally agree - proceed with caution. But , we haven't killed each other after almost 30 years.....yetThe only real issue is if there was a divorce, they aren't hers. Usually doesn't matter.
Yeah I hear you. I just passed my bitter-sweet 16 with my wife a few weeks ago :-)Newly weds - totally agree - proceed with caution. But , we haven't killed each other after almost 30 years.....yet
Is there a “legal” definition, or at least a generally accepted definition of “immediate family member”? I would guess, cousins, in-laws maybe no, but father, mother, sister, brother good to go? Or do you have to live in the same household?Plus you can still transfer a long-gun between immediate family members without going through an FFL.
I believe this is the current language:Is there a “legal” definition, or at least a generally accepted definition of “immediate family member”? I would guess, cousins, in-laws maybe no, but father, mother, sister, brother good to go? Or do you have to live in the same household?
Yeah, then all your guns and tools end up being your brother in laws, or cousin in laws.The only real issue is if there was a divorce, they aren't hers. Usually doesn't matter.
Doc posted the list. But cousins no. Everyone else you mentioned yes. Other than cousins, it’s a fairly fleshed out listing. Surprisingly so considering what the MGA really thinks of gun ownership. They wouldn’t even include gifting a gun to yourself if they could help it.Is there a “legal” definition, or at least a generally accepted definition of “immediate family member”?

You did the right thing.Ok, here's how we did it-
She asked for a specific rifle. She knew I was going to buy it so the "surprise" is blown, it's not going to be under the tree like the Red Ryder BB gun with the compass in the stock. We took a road trip to the only shop that had them in stock (Molly's), she looked at different versions and then chose what she wanted and I paid for it. She filled out all the paperwork and went through the NICS check.
On top of everything else, she's submitted her name for another mentored hunt which is in early December. She wanted the rifle in case she is selected for the hunt.
Frankly, I think it was good for her to jump through all of the administrative hoops so that she finally understands what law abiding owners have to go through in order to exercise their right. She was also privvy to a bunch of shop talk about upcoming gun legislation. She needs to hear this, not be insulated from it by me doing her paperwork for her.
She went with .350 Legend to stay clear of MD state hunting regs.
Lol, she gotta have that SWC for where she hunts.That's a nice rifle and a good caliber for deer in this state. I've got one of the OG Savage Axis rifles in that and it's a nice gun. I prefer my CVA Cascade in .350 Legend to the Savage Axis, but it's a standard Axis, not the Axis II XP which I'm of the understanding is a much more comparable gun to the Cascade.
The real question is, why you didn't convince her to go with an M1 Garand so you could add to your collection vicariously?
