I want to give my future son in-law my old Beretta A300 shotgun. What do I have to do? He has no criminal record and can legally own one.
Should I take it to a FFL?

This is correct, some (including me) would say to write a reciept indicating that you gave him ownership of the shotgun on such and such date. Just in case it becomes an issue in the future.

I think maybe the best way to give it to him is at the wedding. Walk into the church carrying the shotgun and stand next to the alter while the ceremony is taking place. Once the preachers says they are now husband and wife, walk up to your son in law and hand him the shotgun. Shake his hand and give your daughter a kiss. That's the way you welcome a man into your daughter's life as well as your family.
Kinda kidding about this. Although I think it's a good story.

I had vision of some sort of shotgun wedding too. Poor boy has his hands full, she is definitely her mother's daughter.
Congratulations by the way.

Take him out to shoot it and after letting him shoot ask "How do you like it?" then tell him it is his.

I think the advise above is assuming you are both residents of Maryland... If so, you are good to go.

For a formal wedding, it needs to be Duracoated white. ( humor)
But yes, both of you need to be resident of same state.(presumably Md by your profile).

Thanks for the advice, he is a MD resident as am I. I will do it this weekend.
That is a pretty cool way to do it. The wedding idea comes in a close second.

Across state lines it should be sent to an FFL in the same state as the buyer for transfer, NCIS check.

FTFY
State to state, FFL MUST handle the transfer. Federal Law.
It used to be same state as receiver, but FOPA 86 removed the same state requirement.
But the transfer must meet the state law of the state where the transfer occurs and the state of residence of the recipient.

JLowe's Guns is an FFL in Cecil Co. and is a Forum Industry Partner. Good guy for transfers.
