Gifting a pistol to a family member

I transferred two handguns, to my daughter last week at the Rockville MSP Barracks.

The officer on duty was not particulary happy to perform this function. Specifically, he stated that "this service should not be performed by officers on duty". He also informed us that it may take several hours to complete as he was busy answering phones and he recommended we go to an FFL to conduct the transfer.

My daughter and I politley said "Thank You, but we will wait" and sat down in the chairs awaiting his attention. After about half an hour of quietly sitting and very little phone ringing he called us over to start the process.

It took about two hours from the time we walked in until the time we departed, with the transfer complete.

Previously I had conducted transfers at the Waterloo Barracks in Jessup. They were very responsive at the Waterloo Barracks. Much more efficient and accomodating.

since i work at barts and know how to fill out the forms i did it for my children. i sent in the forms along with the checks for 10.00 didnt know the fees were waived by not a big thing. when my daughter figures out what revolver she wants ill do it again, not sure about the hql but she already has the training component handled since she already has a ar. i walked them through the whole thing.
as a aside when annapolis barracks was still around i sold a firearm to another deputy sheriff, when we got to the barracks the desk sgtg said he didnt know how to fill out the paperwork. i asked him if he wanted me to show him and he said great. i ended up giving a class to ther barrack commander the first sgt the desk sgt and a couple of troopers. none fo them had ever seen the paperwork done and where it had to go. since we were inuniform well we didnt worry bout leaving a gun in the car.
