I am 21 years old and I received a 12 gauge pump-action shotgun as a gift. To "legally own" this weapon, do I need to register it, get a criminal background check, go through a program, etc?
Additionally, how can I legally transport it in my car if I am only driving from private home to private home?

You don't have to do anything. It's yours.
When transporting it in a vehicle it must be unloaded and any ammunition for it must be secured separate from the firearm. Best bet is to have it in a case in the trunk and ammo in the passenger compartment.

No, the SPAS-12 shotgun isn't unlawful to have interior the state of Washington. i don't see any rules interior the state of Washington against pistol grip shotguns - purely against short-barreled shotguns. As for the different individuals asserting you won't be able to import it into the country anymore - it particularly is basically in part real because of the fact the SPAS-12 is not in manufacturing. an identical rules for possessing it are precisely comparable to possessing the different shotgun that has over an 18" barrel. There are additionally greater suited, low-fee shotguns available such because of the fact the Mossbergs and Remingtons.
