i've tried to read other threads about inheriting guns and have found it all a bit confusing. my situation is that my grandfather died a few years ago and my aunt just found out that he was apparently some sort of master marksman in the army back in WWII. he had several guns stashed away that no one knew about.
as the only person in the family that has any interest in guns i'm hoping she'll choose to keep them in the family and give them to me instead of selling them. if she does, from what i understand (and i don't know exactly what kinds of guns or how many) all i have to do is drive up to NJ and get them. if there are any handguns i should (have to?) then register them with the MSP.
in one other thread they listed gifts from family members but they only list parents, grandparents, and siblings; not aunts. was this just a short list and any sort of relative is okay? since i'm not buying them i for sure don't have to go through an FFL? should i get a letter signed by her documenting the situation for the MSP?
so complicated
