Thanks for all the comments. I have my answer of line where I was able to give more specifics.
Again I understand you guys being conservative about all of this.
My point is simple. My intent is to do whatever legally possible to keep the weapon. If I fail appealing a decision of off roster, which could take many months I am fairly clear at that point I can sell it through my FFl to any qualified buyer residing out of state where there are less controls.
In states with rosters of "approved weapons" right now there are a good number of weapons sitting in FFL safes that were purchased and transferred to those in-state FFLs that were judged to be off roster where the buyer is a) appealing or b) asking the state board or authority to approve the weapon.
That is what I would do first.
If you look on local gunowner forums of states with rosters you see that there are also cases where sometimes the exact same UPC gun is approved transfer by some FFL and registration office and sometimes where it is not. So there is a subjective element to whether it is "on list."
So there is no question of my answer on 11a. I am the buyer and the weapon is for me.
The question is what to do if a final judgment is made down the road that it is non conforming and therefore what the status and saleablity is. ie would selling it or gifting it to a qualified extended family member be any different than selling it to a an unknown qualified person?
