According to this http://www.cga.ct.gov/2013/rpt/2013-R-0198.htm I can give a firearm as a gift to immediate family member. My question, since I am waaaaay to old to be a dependant (33) can I give my dad A AR as a chistmas gift, I'm pretty sure we are still considered immediate family.

Tax Code status has no bearing on immediate family in this instance.

The correct citation is CRS 18-12-112(6)(b) which permits "bona fide gifts" or loan between immediate family members.

It states that among the exceptions for the requirement of a background check is:
(b) A TRANSFER THAT IS A BONA FIDE GIFT OR LOAN BETWEEN
IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBERS, WHICH ARE LIMITED TO SPOUSES, PARENTS,
CHILDREN, SIBLINGS, GRANDPARENTS, GRANDCHILDREN, NIECES, NEPHEWS,
FIRST COUSINS, AUNTS, AND UNCLES;

If you sell between immediate family, a background check is required.

The chances of being prosecuted are very small, but that would be exactly what it would take to prove a violation actually ... ;-)

Yeah, immediate family is alright. technically if you you could "pass" it to a brother, who could pass it on to his wife, who could pass it on to her brother... etc. Stupid laws.

Stupid laws.

The only laws that should even be made are. Ones that outline consequences for someone else infringing on my rights or your rights. Other than that let me persue my Life, Liberty and Happiness!
