Transfer of ownership

[cbp210]

Today is the official day I actually transferred my $6000.00 dollar shotgun to my now 18-year-old daughter who is starting her new journey. She is attending Schreiner University in Kerrville and joining their shotgun team. This Beretta 694 O/U 12 Gauge with TSK stock was bought in the fall of 2021 season by me but as of today it now belongs to her as a first-time owned gun. I drafted paperwork for her and changed insurance information declaring her the new owner. My daughter will be the first in our family to own a substantial very expensive gun. Lol. Has anyone here ever gifted a gun to their kids at a very high-value cost like an O/U I have transferred to my daughter?

Why go to the trouble of transferring it?
Did she have to be able to prove ownership or something?

Yes, the school and her shooting team will store the guns in the campus police storage vaults and only registered owners can check in and check out guns from their storage. It is very controlled with an agreement between the shooting team and campus police. I just wrote an affidavit transferring ownership to her plus did more like having her fill out a CBP Form 4457 in case her team travels internationally and also having her obtain her own gun insurance for the shotgun.

Seems wonky, but I suppose I understand the university's position.
It sucks but we have to follow the rules.

I do wish the young lady well with her future endeavors.

Many years back if my memory serves me right I met an older guy from Comfort, Texas named Bill Thomas who was very involved in Schreiner University Shooting Team.

To each their own - but I'd have told 'em to pound sand. I've gifted a number of firearms to various family members over the years with a "Happy (whatever the occasion)" and let 'em go on down the road. All she should have had to do was provide a statement/affidavit of ownership.

Coach for the rifle or shotgun teams? I met the rifle coach in the last orientation. Shotgun coach has been communicating with us for years before she graduated. I will look that name up or talk with the school directors.

I know but when dealing with bureaucrats, sometimes you have to take the extra mile to avoid problems with your kids.

Yes, it does but the good thing about this school is they actually allow students with LTC or kids who like to hunt to store their guns with campus police. Same check-in and check-out procedure. My daughter ditched Jacksonville University because their team has a storage facility outside the school and no gun or gun-related items like a gun case are allowed on campus. Even one of the shooting team members with JU told my daughter a team member just recently got suspended for having his gun case on campus. We saw Schreiner a little more gun-friendly but they ask for no guns in dorms and campus and they must go straight to the campus police office before going anywhere else with a gun.

Don't forget I'm your long lost cousin in case you want to gift more firearms

Or remind 'em of just who the hell they work for!

This is so sad.

Back in the BC era when I was at university, we just kept our shotguns in our own dorm lockers, no formality at all. And, zero problems.

They must be paying you CBP Officers a lot better than when I lived on the Border. . . . . .

Good Luck to Daughter with her shooting career.

I heard about those days but unfortunately, those days are long gone despite some schools holding out from going full woke. CBP does pay good now that congress and other lawmakers see the true value in our agency.

You are a great dad. Hope she does well with her education and shooting.

What a wonderful and generous gift! You must be so proud of her accomplishments.

I wish her great success and hope to see her at the Olympics some day.

I wish one of my family would take up the sport. The school rules are probably best with such an expensive shotgun. Best of luck for her.

Team USA would be a great move, but in reality, I am just hoping she does well with her college and her new team's competitions with the ACUI divisions.
