Before I start, let me say I spent a bit of time searching Google for information on this but haven't found anything that completely answered my questions.
My brother purchased a Glock from Cabelas in Pennsylvania. It's registered to him currently, but I would like to purchase it from him.
I am a resident of South Carolina, but I am back in Pennsylvania for the holidays. I intend on purchasing this gun from my brother while I am here, but I'm not familiar with the laws in either state on the private sale/transfer of handguns. Could someone point me in the right direction on where to find this information? I checked out www.pafoa.org but didn't find information to help me on this. Is it as simple as me giving him the money and registering it when I go back to South Carolina? I read about having the gun sent to a dealer in SC, who would then transfer it over to me but it sounded like that was for a commercial sale.
Thanks for any advice.
