Legal Question in Criminal Law in California
My brother in law passed away. He owned an unregistered handgun of unknown origin. My 22 year old step son wants it. Are there any potential legal issues if this is to be passed on to him?

Yes. Handguns are required to be registered with the California Department of Justice. Additionally, handgun transfers must be done through a licensed gun dealer.

Such firearm transfers must comply with federal and state laws, meaning through a federally licensed firearms dealer, who will ensure that the required FBI and other government paperwork and registration is done.
For that purpose I use and recommend only:
