So here’s an interesting situation…<\/p>\n

I live in Tennessee, and my dad lives in Michigan.\u00a0 We’re both into guns and own multiple firearms.\u00a0 I have a gun sitting in my safe collecting dust that I know he’d be interested in.\u00a0 One would think that I could just decide “hey dad, here, take this from your loving son and enjoy it in your good health.*”\u00a0 Unfortunately, there are laws in the way.\u00a0 First of all, it is my understanding that transfers of handguns across state lines (even a gift between family members) requires a NICS background check.\u00a0 I’ve also been told that, while there is no “handgun registration” in the state of Michigan, there is a “handgun buying permit” (which incidentally includes the make a model of the handgun) that is required even for a gift between family members.\u00a0 These two things means that this gift is going to have to go through an FFL.<\/p>\n

So, here’s the question.\u00a0 I drive up there on a semi-regular basis.\u00a0 If I were to drive with the pistol up to Michigan, could my dad and I simply walk into a gun shop and have them do the NICS check, or is there something that mandates that I send the pistol from somewhere down here through whatever is the preferred delivery service?<\/p>\n

Of course, I could go with what I’m guessing most folks do and ignore that, but… uh… I’m too pretty for jail.<\/p>\n

* If I actually said that to my dad, he would probably check to make sure it wasn’t some sort of bomb or other death trap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
