I have a question, but I suspect I already know the answer. I have a brother living in CA that is a little worried about Y2K, and thinks he is a little short on firepower because he only owns a 5-shot revolver. He and I inherited an old 870 pump shotgun from our father but I have always kept it here in Texas because he doesn't hunt and I like to do a little dove hunting each year. He would like me to ship him the 870 straight to him until Y2K is over. Can I legally do this with a long gun that is technically half his anyway, or do I (as I suspect)have to ship it to him through and FFL and then back through an FFL when it comes back to me after January. I could call the ATF, but I try to avoid doing this if possible, because I have in the past gotten two different answers to the same question. They don't seem to be a fountian head of reliable information.
Thanks in Advance
