Question for the group. I should probably know the answer... but I don't. In the event that the bill to treat the transfer of Antique (pre-1899) firearms as if they were modern, passes this year, I would want to try and transfer some of my old guns to my daughter before it takes effect. I know that you can only transfer long-guns to someone who is 18 or older and handguns to someone who is 21 or older, but my question is does this apply to antique arms and/or black powder replicas?
She is 17 soon so I can't transfer any modern arms to her yet, but was wondering if I could do it with some antiques while those transfers are still legal. I of course, would still keep them locked up until she was an adult, but was thinking of establishing a paper trail so that she could actually have them when the time was right without going through FFL transfers. Thoughts?
