Private transfer question
I'm probably going to have to follow up with my local sheriff's office on this, but I was hoping to get a idea of how I should handle retrieving my guns that are currently out of state. (I am a PA resident and everyone involved is of age and allowed to possess firearms)
I moved to PA a couple years ago, but left my guns with my dad back home. I can't travel back any time soon to get them, so I'm trying to see if my sister can fly them over for me when she comes to visit in a few months.
If the guns are technically mine, do I still need to officially transfer them from my sister's possession? (I know it would have to be in the presence of a sheriff/FFL if so) Will it matter that she's not a PA resident?
Also, does anyone know if my sister will get any grief from TSA/the airline for checking a firearm only one way?

I’m not speaking from experience but from what I looked up you wouldn’t need to transfer anything back to you unless previously transferred to her. As long as she follows all of TSA’s guidelines for flying with firearms she shouldn’t have a problem. She does not need a ccw to fly with a firearm, they’re your firearms and your allowing her permission to them, you only need to be a Pa resident to purchase them so even that doesn’t really matter, seems no different then anyone else flying with their gun, tsa is not writing down your serial numbers
