I got a free gun today!

It's just a pea shooter, nothing very big. My Husbands childhood friend was in town today and they went to a gun show. His friend bought me a gun, so I can join them the next time they go shoot some targets. Whee

Rough rider single action revolver.
Caliber: 22 LR, Long
Barrel: 9"
Capacity: 6 Shot Cylinder

do they have a huge tattoo on their forehead statin if they are allowed to own a gun?
requirements:

You have to be 18 or older to purchase a rifle or shotgun;
You have to be 21 or older to purchase a handgun;
You must buy your gun from a federally-licensed dealer in your state;
You must submit to a background check that the dealer will arrange, using an FBI database

exceptions:

Fugitives from justice
Illegal aliens
Unlawful users of certain drugs
Those committed to a mental institution
Those convicted of crimes punishable by imprisonment for more than one year (which generally covers felonies)
Those convicted of crimes of domestic violence

tattoo's don't count either toward or against owning a gun, but since you can have the right to own a gun revoked, and tattoos are permanent, a tattoo could only make you ineligible for owning a gun, never allowing a person to buy a gun

She didn't purchase the gun. She was given the gun.

maybe you missed the earlier post, but the same requirements still apply even if it is being given as a gift

I am pretty sure you cannot give someone a controlled firearm. So if he had to go through FFL paperwork to get it , then so does the person it is given to. This is what is known as a "straw purchase". That applies to any firearm requiring registration - for instance in most states, most shotguns would be exempt since you can walk in and buy them with nothing but payment.

That particular model might be considered a C&R (curio and relic) and if so, it typically does not require any registration and can be given as a gift.

Exceptions are inherited firearms.

I have one of those with a 6" bbl. It's a fun little shooter that will chew up all different kinds of .22 ammo!

That 4-click hammer sure is nice, too. Smilie

Iagree
I'm glad to hear that someone has it and loves it.

I was hoping it would be accurate.
It is nice. I wasn't particularly comfortable with pistols and then hubby bought this and it's helped a lot. Moving on up in the world now! Have fun and good luck Smilie

Why would you want to shoot peas? What did they ever do to you? Mad
