Out-of-State Handgun Transfer?

[mhl6493]

I am wanting to give one of my handguns to my father-in-law, who lives in Georgia.  I want to make sure that we cross every "t" and dot every "i" legally in the process.  Can we simply meet up at an FFL in Georgia and do the transfer there?  Or does it have to involve an FFL on my end here in Tennessee as well?  Thanks!

The FFL in Georgia can do it....but you need to see if he will. They won't all do it.

This.

The only requirement is that the transfer be handled by an FFL in the recipient's state. There's no rule about how it gets there so you can take it yourself, or ship it there yourself. But some FFLs will only accept incoming transfers from other FFLs. Call around to a few until you find one that will take it from an individual.
