Basically, I want to give my brother a rifle that I bought in my name.

Can I just give it to him and do nothing, or do I have to do a bunch of paperwork to make it in his name and legal?

Thank you.

Just give ti to him

Yup just literally hand it to him. There are no requirements

Provided he is not a felon, you can just hand it to him. There is nothing to do.

Oh the horror, what ever are we to do????

I gave my brother in law his first two pistols (after convincing him he needed a pistol license first of course).

I'm wondering about this as well. The curious part is my NYC residence. Once I receive my permit, my father plans to give me his old Mauser 98. He's in California. I believe that immediate family members can transfer long guns no problem, but I'm curious what paperwork I'll have to do aside from the NYC registration form.

Better watch that talk, next they will try to repeal that also!

Is he a NY resident? If he is, do what the others have said. If he lives in another state, you have to transfer through a FFL.
