Hey all. My grandfather used to be a park ranger back in the day at the local park (in Pennsylvania). He passed away a long while back...about 10 years ago.
Just recently while searching for a vehicle title in the safe, we stumbled across his old pistol that he carried as a ranger.
here is my question. My grandmother had tried to give the gun away to my cousins in the past, but no one wanted it. Well...I want it. Haha. I didnt even know it was in there.
I talked to a guy at the local range/gun shop yesterday, and he told me that I didnt have to do a thing. Just take possession of it and do whatever I want. He said I didnt HAVE to bring it in, but if I wanted to I could bring in the pistol and death cert....but that I didnt have to.
I know that if I ever sell it to someone else, that Ide need to do paperwork then...but thats never going to happen. So can I just take it and shoot it and hold on to it? Im pretty sure transfers like that are totally legal within immediat family members like this. just wanted to check with you all real quick.
