Notwithstanding the clarity (or not) of the Law as written....

`Called 4 (four) big (big) gunshops in the Marietta/Smyrna/Cobb area just north of
Atlanta to arrange for transfer paperwork. Without exception, every one of them said
"...we see no need to formally transfer a handgun between father/daughter as described....."

Now we're going to play it failsafe anyway, but it sure was an "intellesting" set of conversations.

Was it made clear to the FFL at the shops questioned that one of the recipient in the transfer is not a resident of the state?

The recipient of the transfer IS a resident of the state (GA). It is the giver who is the non-resident.
 
All four shops are wrong.

This is the hierarchy of firearms-law advice:

  1. The law as written
  2. competent legal professionals
  3. local law enforcement
  4. Uncle Jim Bob, who "knows the law"
  5. ...
  6. ...
  7. ...
  8. gun store employees

The answer given in the prior thread is correct. That's why the thread was closed. There is no legal way around this. The gun must be transferred to the recipient through an FFL in the recipient's home state.
