New gun law clarification.

[Bitter Clinger]

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.

of course you can

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.

You can gift him the rifle and he can turn around and gift you a check..

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

Just "accidentally" leave some cash.... oops!

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.
