I looked around the web and couldn't find an answer to my question. Then I found you fine folks and decided to give it a spin here.
The situation:
In 2015, I had several firearms stolen from my apartment. I legally owned all of these firearms. A proper police report was made listing all said firearms. Cut to today, 2 of my pistols have been recovered by the Police Department, however I am not currently elligible to posses a firearm due to some court proceedings (I currently have no other firearms). The Detective wants to return these pistols to me but I know I will not pass the current background check, which they will conduct before giving them back to me. Can I transfer ownership (I still own them) of these pistols to an immediate family member still? And how would I prove this to the detective when they go to pick them up? The detective is currently on vacation, returning in a week.
The way I read the law, we don't have to submit any paperwork or conduct a background check of the family member receiving my firearms as a bonda fide gift. Do I simply just tell the detective "Relative XXX is now the legal owner of this firearm" and have them go pick them up?
If anyone can point me in the right direction of an answer I would appreciate it.
I would like to add that I do not plan on possesing or using ANY firearms until my legal rights are restored through the proper channels.
Thank you all in advance for helping me unravel this legal question.
