Gifting can be done in any state that does not have some explicit law against it. For example; in CA you can gift a handgun but you still need to fill out some paperwork with the state on the transfer. The transaction does need to be a true gift, your son would have to buy the gun and give it to you with no money or other consideration from you. Plus you would have to be a resident of the same state. Washington State does not require a permit to purchase a handgun so you are good to go as far as gifts go.
