In that case, two FFL's would be involved, one each in the state of residence of each new owner, respectively.
Yepper....

Not only are some of these guys in violation of the law, they are posting about it on a public internet forum. That is not very smart at all.
Government agencies DO lurk on these boards. I know this for a fact.

In August I will be driving to PA to settle my parents estate, I will be bringing home to GA two firearms that my father wanted me to have, what do I have to do to be legal to transport them back to GA, one is a rifle and the other is a pistol.

Most FFL's around here think there ink and time are worth more than GOLD! The FNGS wants $75.00 just for a transfer. Another in the next town wants $50.00....

WOW! That is really high. My time is worth money and I charge $25 for Title 1 transfers and $50 for Title 2 (NFA). There are some pawn shops around here that charge $10-$15 for Title 1. Most other Class III guys around here charge $100 for Title 2.

According to the Cambria County (PA) sheriff's office and a FFL holder in PA in December 2007, a parent can legally "gift" a firearm including a handgun to a son/daughter without transferring the firearm and without going through the PA Instant Check System providing that the son/daughter is not a prohibited person regardless of the state of residence of the son/daughter.
This is a question that my dad who has had an FFL has asked Howard Wolfe of the ATF on more than one occasion at annual FFL holder law briefings held by the Sheriff's office in Cambria Co. PA. Mr. Wolfe has told him that the law is very unclear about this and for this reason, the ATF typically doesn't dig into family affairs.
This brings up another good question. I have about 5-10 guns that I've kept at my dad's house from when I used to live there. Is it legal to bring my guns, purchased in PA, which there is no paper trail for, to my house in GA without going through paper work?
My advice would be to ask you county sheriff's office regarding these type of gray areas. My experience is that many folks who have FFL's don't even know the laws that well and this is a big reason why some FFL holders have had their licenses suspended.
in the case of handguns it takes two, one of which MUST be in your state of residency.
It doesn't take two. It only requires one in the state of the purchaser's residence.
MAN! Did I open a can of worms or what???
