Gifting Handguns ing to Pennsylvania law, a transfer of a handgun between spouses, parent and child, or grandparent and grandchild do not require an FFL or sheriff to run a background check, provided no one is prohibited from possessing a firearm. So, if you want to buy your wife a Tiffany Blue Glock, go ahead.
You can use a driver's license or a government employee ID, but they must have a photo. The seller and buyer must both have a photo ID. As the seller, you will fill out Form 4473, known as the Firearms Transaction Record, as well as a record of sale form, whether you are giving it away or selling it.
This is correct- you cannot carry a loaded gun in a car in PA without a LTCF, unless it's locked up, unloaded, and kept separate from ammunition. And then, you can only be transporting to from a range, gun shop/smith, or home or place of business.
Transferring Handguns Handgun transfers between private individuals do require a background check in Pennsylvania. As noted above, a licensed state gun dealer doesn't just know how to sell a gun commercially, they can help you process private transactions legally, including at gun shows.
Are There Age Restrictions on Gun Ownership in PA? You do not have to register long guns or other firearms, but you must be over 18 to legally own and operate a weapon.
The Sheriff's Office has 45 days after an application is received to issue or deny issuing a LTCF.
