Intrafamily rifle/shotgun transfers.

[wceviper]

When receiving a rifle or shotgun do you still have to notify the DOJ by sending in the intrafamily transfer form, or is that for handguns only? My brother-in-law has inherited a shotgun and wants to know what needs to be done legally. I know if you buy a long gun the DOJ supposedly shreds the reg info after 30 days, but if you send in a form its on file till sold or transferred again?

Thanks for the help!

"Intrafamily exemption" and actual inheritance/probate are two separate matters, the former doesn't need anyone to kick the bucket - and the only authorized parties for such transfers are grandparent/parent/child/grandchild.

In both cases above neither an FFL nor any paperwork is required for long gun if both originating & recipient parties are CA residents.

For guns transferred across state lines with formal will/inheritance/probate situation, no FFL is needed either.

Your bro-in-law does not need to fill out any paperwork. He can just go shoot it.

it went from grandfather to grandson. Thanks for the help. Just wanted to make sure everything is done right.
