PPT/ Unregistered Handgun Question
My friend was asking me about a situation he is in and I figured I would ask the all knowing and powerful CALGUNS forum for advice. He is about to become a first time firearm owner and I didnt want to give him any advice without asking for some other opinions first. His friend is (for the price) basically giving him a classic S&W revolver (I believe a Model 60). The revolver came from Nevada, made its way to its current owner and is now coming to my friend. There is no way to affiliate this gun with the current owner or my friend for now. Now that he is becoming the new owner, what would the reprocussions be if he was to defend himself with a handgun that legally has no relation to him? Is he suppose to go and register this new handgun with the state? What if they want to know about the previous owner but he has no relation to it on paper either? Thanks guys, any and all advice would be great. I personally bought all of my guns from my LGS so I have no experience with private party transfers or anything like that.
