Application / Regulation advice Handgun inheritance

Hi all,

Wondering if there’s something I’m missing.

My dad has a handgun (.22 revolver) that he inherited many years ago. He has his RPAL and is the legal owner of the gun.

He wants it to become mine when he passes.

With our current gun laws is there anyway to have it become mine either before or after he passes?

I’m thinking there’s not, but looking for advice.

All these people saying it’s impossible are wrong, I know a guy who literally just purchased a 22lr revolver via Olympic exemption, he already had a Pardini so this is just for fun.

Reading about the exemption for about two seconds this is not practical for 99% of people.
