#1 rule...Be honest! Don't BS about when you got it or that it's an out of state purchase.

Just walk into HPD with the info for the gun and tell them you want to acquire it from your grandfather's estate. Then go through the process (fill out the forms, pass the background check, etc.) and be done.

Do you know what specific info about the gun I need to have when I go down to HPD to apply for a permit to acquire?

Legal and Activism / Registering old handgun

Hi,

I can't seem to find an answer to this so I'll try here.

Hypothetically speaking, how can go about registering a handgun owned by a relative (grandparent) who brought this gun back from WWII. I'm not sure it's registered and was likely brought into the state in the late 1940s. I already have my handgun training certificate and want to know if there's a way for me to legally own this gun. Some background, my relative is still alive and my father has legal standing to make decisions about his estate.

Our biggest concern is screwing up this process and having HPD confiscate and destroy the gun. It is a very important part of our family history. Thanks in advance!

I was there on Tuesday, January 8th. Got there at 0530 and was about 25th in line. I was just picking up and they came through the line around 0800 taking IDs for pickups and I was out of there by 0820. After picking up my rifle I went back in line about 1100, with about 17 people in front of me and took 3 1/2 hours to register.
