No , he needs your RPAL # to transfer to your name. Your buying right ? You can give him the money but he can't transfer anything to you until you have a RPAL . Until then the gun stays with him , in his name.Ok.thats what i needed to know. I wasnt sure if it was like buying a rifle. Flash the card and walk out the store..So i need his pal number ect so i can eventually transfer to my name .
