Its very simple, the son of fxdrider lives out of state and is a convicted felon. If the guns are transerred to the mother a convicted felon will probably have access to them. Fxdrider has the sales receipts for both guns.

An order to release the guns to the mother must come from a judge in the state where fxdrider lives: That means the mother would have to come to fxdrider's state and hire a lawyer and for a hearing or trial. All that stuff costs big bucks: Unless the guns are extraordinarily valuable or the mother has money to burn the chance of a lawsuit is nil.

fxdrider, don't give up those guns. Good luck to you.
