Unfortunately, I may be moving to Maryland for a while. Rather than dealing with their ridiculous gun laws, I'm thinking about giving my guns/mags/ammo/etc. to my brother for him to hold onto while I'm living in Maryland. I've been doing some googling, trying to make sure I'm following all the laws/best practices. However, still I'm fairly new to gun ownership and I figured I'd ask here to double check.I currently live in Loudoun County. I own a Glock 19 Gen 5, with three 15 round mags, and one 30 round mag. I also own an AR-15 stripped lower, with no other parts. It's just a serialized hunk of metal, but legally it's a firearm. So legally, I own two firearms. Besides that, I have a few hundred rounds of 9mm Luger, cleaning kit, UpLULA speed loader, and a few ammo boxes I keep all the accessories and ammo inside. I don't own a gun safe, but I have the gun lock that came with my Glock.My brother lives outside Richmond, VA, around Henrico. My brother is legally allowed to own firearms and owns several. He also has a Virginia CCW permit. I think he may also have other permits due to his job.I believe that since we both live in Virginia, and we're family, I can just hand over my guns to him without having to legally do anything else? Is that correct? I don't need to file anything with the ATF or state police? It's really as simple as handing my guns over to him?Besides following the law, are there any best practices I should be aware of in this situation?Thanks!
