Hunter Safety?

[dualhead]

A friend of mine found his grandmother's .357 Ladysmith in a box of her items. She passed years ago. He is interested in keeping it and wondered if his hunters safety coursebis sufficient in the state's eyes to grant him the ability to legally own it. He is not interested in concealed or open carry. Just trips to the range and hunting out of state when local laws permit the use of handguns. Thanks!

It is, but there is no requirement for an HQL for an inheritance, and the transfer is free at the MSP barracks.

Just register it then?

So my buddy just has to register it and he is good to go?

Go to MSP, ask for paperwork to do an inheritance transfer, have them verify the serial number, fill out the paperwork, submit the paperwork with a $10 money order, enjoy the family heirloom.

Don't ask, don't tell.

Don't be an idiot and suggest illegal options, it's against board policy and if caught it reflect on all of us, especially if it gets tracked back to this board.

I thought you had a time limit on when the inheritance transfer can be done from time of death. But I could be wrong

You really have to be careful on a public forum. We are probably, highly scrutinized.

Nope, none stated in the law or the regulations.

So about 8 years ago when mom and dad sold the house and moved into a retirement home (Pennsylvania) he gave me his brand new Ruger P95 since he was not allowed to have it in the retirement home. At the time we weren't sure about the paperwork involved so he wrote on the back of the 4473 that he was giving the gun to me, dated and both signed. He has since passed away and I still have the firearm. Should I go to MD State Police and register it?

Nope, no requirements to register it, unless you want to, to feel better about it.

Incorrect. 8 years ago paperwork was required for a regulated handgun transfer. Hopefully he can now go the inheritance route.

I am assuming he was also a PA resident when he moved his parents into a retirement home. Of course I should know better than to assume.

So the question for hitwtom is, was he a PA resident when the tranfer took place?
