Family transfer question

[JT1989]

I'm antsy to turn 21. I have 4 months to go. So I have a question. Can my brother transfer a handgun to me? He is 25 so he can buy one. But is that the same as if a dad transferred a gun to his son?

nope. Intrafamily transfer is grandparent, parent, child, grandchild only. Straight up/down the family tree. No sideways or diagonal transfers.

For your brother to legally transfer you a handgun in CA, he would need to PPT it through a dealer. But since you are under 21, the dealer can't transfer the handgun to you at the end of your 10-day wait.

Epic failure. Thanks for the input

Where's your Dad? Depending on his location you may have an easier route. If your Father isn't anti-gun.

could do a two-part transfer though, right?
brother transfers to father
father transfers to OP?
and I think OP doesn't have to be 21 for that...

presuming all are CA residents.

that would work but were talking about 4 months here. not 4 years. how about you take that 4 months to save for a super awesome gun. or more guns. or more toys for the guns your gonna buy. or but loads of ammo or.... man i could go on for days here.

Why would it take 4 months?

I'm not aware of anywhere where it says you have to wait for the confirmation letter before you can transfer it on.

Brother gives it to Father, Father gives to Son.

Edit-

I just realized you meant wait the 4 months and get it himself.

except one might want to wait for the papers in case there's some issue with the first tranfer.
