Heirloom Firearms
« on: February 12, 2017, 03:07:51 PM »
A client of mine recently inherited some old rifles and wishes to sell them, a grand parent passed and no one was interested in the rifles. They have never been registered, is it even possible to register them at this point if someone was interested in purchasing them? How would one go about liquidating the rifles within the law?

Believe that your client can dispose via an FFL dealer.  If he wants to sell them himself, he'll have to get them registered to himself first (assuming that he is the executor of the estate).

No need to register to sell them. Can just sell them to any one with a permit. Or take them out of state to sell.

They can sell the rifles to anyone within the State with a valid permit or anyone out of state without restrictions, mailed to a FFL via USPS.

No, it was legal for the grand parent to possess them without registering them, and would have been legal for him/her to sell them. But now, since the original owner for whom the registration requirement was grandfathered away has died, for them to be sold to a new owner, at least within the confines of the state of Hawaii, they will first have to be registered to a new (living) owner.

It is as Suka and Tom said, they are probably "grandfathered" and if so, completely legal.  BUT, the client must obtain a permit to acquire before taking possession from the estate and have them registered before selling. It's either that or have them transferred directly from the estate to an FFL to sell on your behalf.

The client can not legally take possession without a permit to acquire. Period.
