Plinker is correct, there is no requirements between grandparent/ parent/ child/ spouse...any other handgun transfers need to go thru a FFL and be recordedPa-Plinker said:Your father doesn't have to do anything. The less paper trail a firearm has the better!
Basically correct. Assuming you are over 21, you may apply for a License to Carry Firearms for concealed carry. There are also Sportsman's Permits for hunting use, and open carry which is lawful in PA with certain restrictions.3D Hunter said:I have something similar going on too.. my uncle died and all his stuff was left to his mother and she said I could have all his firearms one of which is a 9mm pistol. so legally for me to carry this gun all I need is a permit correct? there is no need for me to get it registered in my name?

I suggest you read up on PA firearms laws or visit a website that can provide a lot of useful information such as: http://paopencarry.org/
No. You would need to go through an FFL and have it transferred.B292 said:so if I buy a hand gun off of someone I don't know, it DOES NOT need to be transferred, and I could still carry it to hunt, ect.. I just want to understand, not beating a dead horse
