I have a weapon that needs to be gifted legally to another person. What are the steps?

As long as the other person can legally own firearms, give it to them.

It’s always a good idea to fill out a bill of sale to cya.

The only legal requirement in Louisiana is that you don't knowingly give or sell the firearm to someone you know can't legally own or possess it. Guns aren't registered here, and NICS isn't a registry despite ATF occasionally trying to use it as one.

Find the rule that fits your specific situation.

I gave some firearms to a relative with a bank background who also has all the licensing/registration/etc. needed for all legal weapons transfer up to the limits.

He said thanks and nothing else needed to see the heirlooms stay in the family. (Turns out dad had grandpa’s 12ga everyone had given up on 45 years ago+)
