I know this question has been asked and answered so many times before, but I ask for your patience, as I'm the "new kid" with TFL.
I digress;
As a result of diminishing eyesight, I have to give my guns (2 semi-auto pistols, 2 shotguns, and 2 semi-auto rifles) to my son.
He lives in California, and I live in Illinois (NOT in Chicago, thank you !).
I have read so many interpretations and variations of the "rules", just what must I do to make this happen ?
My guns are ALL legal (with receipts).
He is NOT a felon with a criminal record, and he is NOT crazy, and he has promised that he will keep the guns stored in a safe, which I bought for him.
Does he, or I, have to go through an FFL dealer, file a form and wait 30 days ?
Does he have to register these guns with California law enforcement ?
Thanks for understanding my delimna.
