Here's what the ATF actually has to say about private transfer of firearms both in state and out of state. Pay particular attention to paragraph 2 which addresses gifts to someone out of state:

TRANSFERS OF FIREARMS BY
PRIVATE SELLERS

An unlicensed individual may transfer a
firearm to another unlicensed individual
residing in the same State, provided that he
or she has no reason to believe the buyer is
prohibited by law
from possessing firearms.
For a list of
categories prohibiting a person
from possessing a firearm, please refer to 18
U.S.C. 922(g) and (n).

An unlicensed individual is prohibited
from directly transferring a firearm to a
person residing in another State.
Regardless of the purpose of the transfer (e.g.
gift, trade, loan, sale, ownership, etc.), this
restriction applies to all types of firearms.

An unlicensed individual may complete a
transfer to an out-of-State person through the
following procedure:
•
The unlicensed individual transfers the
firearm to a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) located in
the State of the person receiving the firearm
.
•
The FFL will transfer the firearm to
the unlicensed out-of-State person.
•
The FFL will be responsible for
lawfully transferring the firearm

This is from an ATF Publication titled "BEST PRACTICES: TRANSFERS
OF FIREARMS BY PRIVATE SELLERS"

Don't leave now Geo. I expect that we'll soon see Ed once again quoting stuff from the "Gun Control Act of 1935"... a law that does not even exist.
