How do i get a gun unregistered in Mississippi?
There are several parts to the answer.
Part 1: There is no handgun registration in Mississippi. You can sell a handgun to another person who isn't restricted in a personal transaction and nothing is required by law as long as the other person also lives in MS. You can, if you choose, print up a bill of sale, so you have evidence that you sold the gun.
Part 2: You can also, if you choose, go to a gun shop or any FFL holder and have them process a transfer. Some dealers won't process transfers between two individuals. The ones that do, will charge a fee, usually somewhere between $25 and $100.
Part 3: If you're talking about a gun that has been stolen (or missing), you should file a police report, but there isn't really any way to "get it out of your name" because, strictly speaking, it isn't "in your name."

Can a 20 years old carry a pistol in Georgia?
At age 20 you are not old enough to get a Georgia Weapons License, which is a permit to carry a handgun or knife with blade over 5 inches. So without a permit and without being eligible to get one, your carry options are limited.
I think you can still carry a pistol in your car (one that you own and drive yourself). And you can carry one (openly, in a holster) while hunting or fishing when you are legally doing those things with the land owner's permission. And when you are target shooting for practice with permission of the land owner or range operator. To get the gun to and from the range or hunting field or fishing area, you can transport it unloaded and locked in a case of some kind. There may also be an exception for carrying at "your place of business" but I'm not sure if that means any place you work, with or without permission from the boss, or if the "your place of business" exception only applies to the the place where you are a manager / co-owner of the business and therefore at least partially responsible for the safety and security there.

What about reposession in Utah?
When you finance or lease a vehicle, your creditor holds important rights on the vehicle until you've made the last loan payment or fully paid off your lease obligation. These rights are established by the signed contract and by state law. If your payments are late or you default on your contract in any way, your creditor may have the right to repossess your car. Talking with Your Creditor
It is easier to try to prevent a vehicle repossession from taking place than to dispute it afterward. Contact your creditor when you realize you'll be late with a payment. Many creditors will work with you if they believe you'll be able to pay soon, even if slightly late. Sometimes you may be able to negotiate a delay in your payment or a revised schedule of payments. If you reach an agreement to modify your original contract, get it in writing to avoid questions later. Still, your creditor may refuse to accept late payments or make other changes in your contract and may demand that you return the car. By voluntarily agreeing to a repossession, you may reduce your creditor's expenses, which you would be responsible for paying. Remember that even if you return the car voluntarily, you're responsible for paying any deficiency on your credit or lease contract, and your creditor still may report the late payments and/or repossession on your credit report. Seizing the Car
In many states, your creditor has legal authority to seize your vehicle as soon as you default on your loan or lease. Because state laws differ, read your contract to find out what constitutes a "default." In most states, failing to make a payment on time or to meet your other contractual responsibilities are considered defaults. In some states, creditors are allowed on your property to seize your car without letting you know in advance. But creditors aren't usually allowed to "breach the peace" in connection with repossession. In some states, removing your car from a closed garage without your permission may constitute a breach of the peace. Creditors who breach the peace in seizing your car may have to pay you if they harm you or your property. A creditor usually can't keep or sell any personal property found inside. State laws also may require your creditor to use reasonable care to prevent others from removing your property from the repossessed car. If you find that your creditor can't account for articles left in your car, talk to an attorney about whether your state offers a right to compensation. Selling the Car
Once your creditor has repossessed your car, they may decide to sell it in either a public or private sale. In some states, your creditor must let you know what will happen to the car. For example, if a creditor chooses to sell the car at public auction, state law may require that the creditor tells you the date of the sale so that you can attend and participate in the bidding. If the vehicle is to be sold privately, you may have a right to know the date it will be sold. In either of these circumstances, you may be entitled to buy back the vehicle by paying the full amount you owe, plus any expenses connected with its repossession (such as storage and preparation for sale). In some states, the law allows you to reinstate your contract by paying the amount you owe, as well as repossession and related expenses (such as attorney fees). If you reclaim your car, you must make your payments on time and meet the terms of your reinstated or renegotiated contract to avoid another repossession. The creditor must sell a repossessed car in a "commercially reasonable manner" - according to standard custom in a particular business or an established market. The sale price might not be the highest possible price - or even what you may consider a good price. But a sale price far below fair market value may indicate that the sale was not commercially reasonable. Paying the Deficiency
A deficiency is any amount you still owe on your contract after your creditor sells the vehicle and applies the amount received to your unpaid obligation. For example, if you owe $2,500 on the car and your creditor sells the car for $1,500, the deficiency is $1,000 plus any other fees you owe under the contract, such as those related to the repossession and early termination of your lease or early payoff of your financing. In most states, a creditor who has followed the proper procedures for repossession and sale is allowed to sue you for a deficiency judgment to collect the remaining amount owed on your credit or lease contract. Depending on your state's law and other factors, if you are sued for a deficiency judgment, you should be notified of the date of the court hearing. This may be your only opportunity to present any legal defense. If your creditor breached the peace when seizing the vehicle or failed to sell the car in a commercially reasonable manner, you may have a legal defense against a deficiency judgment. An attorney will be able to tell you whether you have grounds to contest a deficiency judgment.
What do you need to purchase a handgun in Texas?

Can a convicted felon own a pellet gun or air rifle in Washington state?
The law, often referred to as the felon-in-possession statute, makes it illegal for someone "who has been convicted in any court of a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year" to possess a firearm. Because it imposes mandatory sentences on the basis of a record of previous convictions, prosecutors commonly add a felon-in-possession charge when seeking an indictment for other offenses. April 26 - The Supreme Court on Tuesday curbed the reach of a federal law that prohibits convicted felons from possessing guns, ruling 5 to 3 that the law does not apply to those who were convicted by courts in foreign countries. The majority arrived at that conclusion by interpreting the statute's reference to a conviction in "any court" to mean "any court in the United States." Justice Stephen G. Breyer's majority opinion said that in the absence of any indication that Congress even considered the issue when it enacted the law in 1968, the court should apply a legal presumption that "Congress ordinarily intends its statutes to have domestic, not extraterritorial, application."

What are the laws in Nevada regarding adverse possession?
Adverse Possession Adverse possession is the taking of title to real estate by possessing it for a certain period of time. Title means ownership of real estate. The person claiming title to real estate by adverse possession must have actual possession of it that is open, notorious, exclusive and adverse to the claims of other persons to the title. By its very nature, a claim of adverse possession is hostile to the claims of other persons. It cannot be hidden but must be open and notorious in order to put other persons on notice as to one's claim for possession of the real estate.
New Mexico: In New Mexico, the duration of such possession is ten (10) years. New Mexico Code §37-1-22.
