Yes, but, may want to think about this. Assuming you bought said gun from a dealer its papered to you. You can legally give it to the people you mention but, if it were to get stolen from them? Later used in a crime? They are going to come to you. Now how well do you trust the people you want to give that gun too? If they do something "stupid" like leave it in a vehicle and it gets used in a crime? Now lawyers are going to come looking for money. So make sure you really want that gun in your name after you pass it off to others. Can your brother and father legally own a gun? May be far better to take them to a shop and let them get the gun in their name and you pay.Hello all I was wondering if it was legal to give a gift to a brother and a father of a handgun for Christmas.
Thanks
Yeah this is exactly what I was thinking to lol I may just make them go out and put it in their names bc I don't want to be liable for anything.Yes, but, may want to think about this.

That could be considered a straw purchase. No respectful dealer would allow that.May be far better to take them to a shop and let them get the gun in their name and you pay.
i am sure he meant pay for the BGC for the gun he is giving them..... not a straw purchaseThat could be considered a straw purchase. No respectful dealer would allow that.
IMHO, if I had any concerns about a family member using a firearm irresponsibly then I really have no business gifting them a firearm in the first place.Yeah this is exactly what I was thinking to lol I may just make them go out and put it in their names bc I don't want to be liable for anything.
ANY real FFL will have no problem with it as long as its clear whats going on. Now if you walk in there acting all nervous and and making them think something is wrong? They will have a problem. You have really never seen someone buying a gun for another person?That could be considered a straw purchase. No respectful dealer would allow that.
In the past I have given and received more guns than I can even remember now. Sadly we now live in a "new world" created by lawyers. For the cost of the transfer? If I ever give any of my kids another gun of mine I will make it theirs as part of the gift. Many keep their head firmly in the sand preferring to pretend just how bad things have gotten now is not real. That works fine until the real world comes in and they are deer in the headlightsYeah this is exactly what I was thinking to lol I may just make them go out and put it in their names bc I don't want to be liable for anything.
Can't speak for others but I have no fear or distrust of my kids who I have given guns too in the past. I do have a healthy fear of bottom feeders any more due to living in the real world. Now days? If I was to give one of my guns to one of the kids I would also transfer it. Many pretend the world is not what it is now and that works fine till reality comes home one day and they are forced to see it. Sadly this world is nothing like the one I grew up in but, it is the world I now have to live in.It saddens me to see how much fear and distrust some have invited into our lives, even when it comes to their own loved ones.
Nope. It's not.That could be considered a straw purchase. No respectful dealer would allow that.
Yes, assuming you are not aware of either being a prohibited person and you all reside in Oregon.Hello all I was wondering if it was legal to give a gift to a brother and a father of a handgun for Christmas.
Thanks
I wish it was that easy and pretending it is works fine, until it does not. When some gun turns up at a crime if its in your name they will come to you. If you gave it to someone legally you are good there but, bottom feeders do exist. Pretending they do not is great. Sadly the legal system here is a mess and pretending it does not exist is fine. That is until you need a lawyer and find out they are not free.Paranoia, paranoia, everybody's coming to get you ...
Just give them the gifts and document it if you feel the need.
Or buy them a gift card in the amount you were looking to spend to the store you wanted to buy from and let them go pick out their new toy in their name. Honestly, this is a lot of hullabaloo where no legal need for hullabaloo exists
Sigh. Ok.I wish it was that easy and pretending it is works fine, until it does not. When some gun turns up at a crime if its in your name they will come to you.
