If I wanted to give my stepson a pistol for his birthday, do we need to have an fro transfer it?
He's of legal age and is not legally barred from owning one.

INAL and not to cast a dispersion...but...
1. the legal status of a 'step-child' in a mixed marriage family is gray, e.g., on rights etc., especially if you note in the R.C.W 9.41.113 the term "step-" doesn't appear in the statutory content.
2. that the individual is of 'age' and presumed not adopted, could present issues in and of itself if something wayward occurs though use, legal or otherwise, could cause you to have to judicially defend yourself!
3. aft is vague regarding "step-child" terminology
so, while the penalty is considered 'a gross misdemeanor' do you wish to go through the goat rope of having to spend $$$ to defend yourself?
transfer the firearm via a FFL and avoid the 'what ifs' and puts the onus on the FFL!

[tongue semi-in-cheek...giving it to the spouse presumes they are able to be gifted a firearm??]
interestingly OP hasn't interjected the rationale for not utilizing a FFL to transfer their firearm to the 'of age' step-child?
or
giving a gift card for $$$ and let said 'of age' step-child purchase their firearm of choice themselves...

We don’t need feedback, rationale, or the conclusion to the story from the OP. What he does, or doesn’t do, is not our concern.
He asked for help understanding the law, and that was provided.

Sorry just saw these replies. He certainly is of legal age to go through an FFL, just trying to avoid the fees and hassle if at all possible. I'll have his mom gift it to him due to the "step" vagueness.
