Laws vary from state to state, but every jurisdiction I can think of allows transfer of a firearm from one person to another. Some of the most restrictive, like California, require private party transfers to go through a licensed dealer. The Great State of Texas has no registration scheme, so the concept of a handgun being 'in somebody's name' doesnt even apply here. Check with a licensed dealer in your area for guidance. sales@countrygunsmith.net

No. Depending on where you are, you probably don't have to register it. Handgun registration, contrary to popular belief, is not required in most U.S. states. If you are unsure, check with the local police department.
