Which form is used when transferring ownership of a weapon or when traveling with it across state lines?

The correct form for transferring ownership of a weapon or for traveling with it across state lines is ATF 5320.20. This form is specifically designed for the notification of the transfer or borrow of firearms from a person to another, especially when traveling with firearms for a specific period. It is intended to ensure compliance with federal laws that regulate the movement of firearms across state lines, making sure that the individual traveling adheres to proper legal protocols.

In the context of traveling with firearms, the ATF 5320.20 form functions as a notification to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) about the temporary transfer of firearms, which is crucial for legal clarity and to avoid any potential misunderstandings with law enforcement during interstate travel.

Other options include forms related to different aspects of firearm regulation—such as the ATF 5320.4, which pertains to the application for a tax-exempt transfer of a firearm; the CG-4100, which is used by the Coast Guard for various tactical tasks; and DD 1149, which is a form used for requisitions and transfers within the Department of Defense. None of these forms serve the specific purpose of notifying authorities in the context of transferring ownership
