Shipping/transferring multiple firearms?

[Circuits]

Not legal for gramps to bring them or for you to go get them - it's interstate transport and requires you to go through an FFL, even among family members, since you do not reside in the same state. He can leave them to you in his will, and if they transfer as part of his estate, they could come directly to the heirs in CO from OH, but only after he's died.

Only legal way to ship them from OH to CO is to ship them to a CO FFL, and the person picking them up goes through BGC.

Circuits is correct on the transfer to be legal.

I would agree if ownership had already been transferred as in a sale. My thought was that the guns aren't theirs until he actually gives it to them. If they go for a family visit and are given the guns while there, they are transporting their own firearms which is legal. Same situation as when I go visit the CMP North or South Store and buy a Garand on the spot but then take it with me. I don't have to have them ship the rifle.

In the converse situation, Grandpa is transporting his own firearms and hasn't transferred ownership yet.

Of course, you ARE an FFL and I'm not so I'll stick with your opinion but I DO know you can legally purchase at the CMP and drive home across state lines.

I guess the thing about buying a rifle at one of the CMP stores and taking it home with you is going to be similar to buying a long gun at an out of State gun shop or an out of State gun show. The 4473 is filled out and a BGC is performed and if you pass that check, you can haul the firearm home with you.
i have never made a purchase in person at one of the CMP stores so I am only guessing that a 4473 is also made at those stores.

CMP is different in that they are allowed to sell to residents of other states - they're an FFL.

Gramps cannot legally give the guns into their possession, even as a gift, since they do not reside in the same state. He can give them (title to) the guns, but is making an illegal transfer of them across state lines if they don't go through an FFL. The only exceptions are as part of an estate.
