Gifting Rifles to Son

t84a · Mar 17, 2020

I have a 20 gauge shotgun and a .22 rifle that I'd like to give to my son. What do I need to do, if anything. Thanks

Is your son located in Maryland?

Save up for a shoulder replacement?

Face to face transfer. So long as he is a non-prohibited person.

It's your son, so you decide how you want to handle, but most would recommend a bill of sale, to include make, model, serial number, name of tranferee, DL number, address, and even photocopy of ID.

Many templates available online for a firearm bill of sale you could use.

I might be wrong but I think to legally be a "sale" there has to be a monetary amount. When I transferred a long gun to a very close friend as a gift, I did it in the amount of $1, per the bill of sale.

Thanks. Doesn't this site (MDS) have a Bill of Sale template?

Even under the crap that is HB4 transfer among family is legal. Sb208 as amended widened what family meant (it is pretty expansive) and house adopted that in the end.

So as father to son, zero hurry.

I believe we are all one big human family. I’m using that definition.

I can hear the former Sen. Zirkin saying, "Good luck with that." :lol2:

Give them to your son and when you die the paper trail will end.
