READER Q&A
Q: I have a friend who moved from PA to AZ. He has 2 hand gun’s that his dad gave him. His dad passed away and the gun’s are not in his name. Can he sell them or will he need to transfer them into his name?
A: You are under the misconception that guns are “registered” in someone’s name. Neither PA or AZ have gun registration. This is not like a car or real estate property that is actually deeded or titled. If the deceased father in fact gave the son the guns, then the guns are the property of the son to sell as he wishes. Now, for your own records, ask for a simple Bill of Sale on the guns, so that you can document who you got them from.

the 22 HR revolver is a cheap gun, and not worth much money at all. The 1000 rounds of 22 ammo probably would cost $10 to buy, so that isn't worth anything
the 32-20 is an old and very desirable cartridge. If the ammo is very old it may be a collector's item, and depending on the condition of the gun, it might be valuable to a collector too.
I suggest keeping them as a momento of your father, and giving them to your grandkids later on.
No need to register anything, unless you live in New York City, Washingon DC, or Hawaii

You do not need to worry about registration.
You can easily and legally sell the guns……. be sure the buyer is over 21 and if they tell you they have commited a felony – then you cannot sell them to that person.
To get the best price – look around the local gun shops and find some similar pistols. Or, while you are visiting the gunshops – ask.
Hope this helps
