Giving Brother a gun
skydve76:
I bought a gun recently and decided I want to give it to my brother. I told him to go get his purchase permit first but I ran across this:
"If you are receiving the handgun from a close relative, Nebraska State Statute 69-2403 specifies that a handgun purchase certificate is not necessary if “The transfer is between a person and his or her spouse, sibling, parent, child, aunt, uncle niece, nephew or grandparent.”
You guys think it is ok for me to just give it to him? I dont htink he has anything but I guess I dont know because he lived in another state until he was 18 or 19. The other thinkg is bought the gun recently and I dont want it to look like I just went out and did a straw purchase.
I hate these wierd gun laws. I suppose I should just let him get the permit to be safe. He just has a job he has to take off from to go get it during the hours they have. If I could just hand it over I probably would to save him the time and tell him to get the permit later if he ever gets a day off.
Anyone sold or given a releative a gun without them having a permit?

It's your call whether you want him to get the permit first or not. It is not required by law.

The transfer of the handgun to your brother would be perfectly legal as long as he himself is not a prohibited person.

I guess it comes down to wether or not I know for certain he is prohibited and since I dont know, I cant be held accountable. I gave him the gun but he will get the permit anyways, He plans to get a CCW. Thanks!

I'm not so sure...... I think the resposibility is on the giver. Hope all's well. RJ
