Frequently Asked Questions

What is the first step to legally gift a firearm?

The first step to legally gift a firearm is for the intended giver to purchase the firearm themselves. During this purchase, they must complete all necessary paperwork and pass the required background check as the legal purchaser.

Can I buy a gun for someone else and give it to them immediately?

No, you cannot immediately give a firearm after purchasing it for someone else. Federal law requires the purchaser to complete the background check. Once you have legally taken possession of the firearm, you can then gift it to the intended recipient.

What are the risks of gifting a firearm to a felon?

Gifting a firearm to a known felon is a serious federal offense. If you knowingly gift a firearm to a felon, you can be charged with a felony yourself, facing severe legal penalties and imprisonment.
