Hi:

Recently a member of my family passed away and left a pistol . Does anyone know what it takes for me to get it to my home when the courts name my as the estate administrator? The firearm is locked and chained at his place right now and every thing is legal. I do have my F.A.C. from 10 yrs back, but never pursued any hunting and I have no firearms at all.

I think time is of the essence here but I feel I am in the dark.Please help if you can. Thanks
 
Go get your restricted for handguns before they try to take it from you.
Just challenge the test.
The cost will be only for the test (Approx $40) not the cost to upgrade your POL to a RPOL.
Then you can buy all kinds of handguns.
Kind of F^&ked up eh.
Good luck
 
might want to check the classification (restricted or prohibited) just in case, if it was made before 1946 and it is prohibited it can be grandfathered to blood relatives (grandfather, father, son etc).
 
Relax, as executor you have powers that specifically relate to firearms, and the law recognizes that these things do take time. But do as Stevo said and call the CFO.
Any chance you could post pics in here? You need to know exactly what it is you've got, and what the legal ramifications might be depending on it's class.
 
Ditto on what stevebc said. You are allowed a "reasonable" amount of time to get yourself licensed, etc. A friend of mine died a couple of years ago and it was close to a year before his widow started getting the "get the ball rolling" notifications from the CFC, but it would be wise to start now. You will need the non-restricted license before getting the restricted one. You do have the option of getting licensed and keeping it or just selling it.
