I am a new LTC recipient in MA. I did some research but there is one or two twists that make me think the new post is justified.
Scenario:
I recently received my LTC here in MA.

Scenario:
I recently received my LTC here in MA.
- My brother in Law recently found a .357 revolver that belonged to his deceased father in some of his packed belongings.
- He wants to gift me that gun. He has other guns of his father's and my father in law and I were close so I would value such a gift.
- My brother in law is a valid LTC holder as well.
- He does not know his deceased father's LTC info which I think is required for him to record his own inheritance of the gun before he can gift to me.
- Neither of us have any idea about the history of the gun or it's transaction history.
- Is he allowed to simply complete a personal sale or transfer action in the MA portal?
- Even if that is the best course, is there any risk / exposure for either of us, doing this without knowing the history of the gun?
- I know I have the ability to register it myself but I that option on the website specifies it's for a weapon that "there is no record of the weapon on file with the Firearms Records Bureau." I have no idea on this.
