most likely just for sure no rifle or shotguns. if the person your giving the gun to is under 18 then i would suggest not to. but if the person was in the military or served in the police then for sure u can give them any gun.
The actual answer is, in the U.S. you can give a gun as a gift to anyone who qualifies to own the gun. In other words, if the person is not a felon and otherwise qualifies to own the gun, it's perfectly legal to give the gun as a gift or to loan the gun to the person. Whether the person was in the military or a police officer has nothing to do with it.
BUT, there are two main stipulations:
1. You can only take possession of a HANDgun within the state where you live, so if you are giving a handgun to a person in another state, you are supposed to (required by law) ship it to a dealer in that person's state and they are supposed to pick it up there. There will almost always be a fee involved with that.
2. It has to be a legitimate gift. It is illegal to go buy a gun for another person if it is not a gift.
