California law only covers California law.
Federal law covers Federal law.

In this case, Federal law requires an FFL to be involved in the transfer.

If you call the CA DOJ, they will often tell you that am FFL is not needed, as their drones are ignorant of Federal law.

But ignorance is nothing new.
The DOJ is the agency that misread the Federal rule that a firearm serial number on a polymer receiver be engraved on a stainless plate and contain a total of 3.7oz of metallic content when assembled and wrote their own rule that requires that the serial number be engraved on a 3.7oz stainless plate... physically impossible on a traditional handgun frame and quite difficult on even an AR frame.

Just a quick clarification, if my parents intend to gift me a handgun, do they need to send it into California through an FFL or can they hand carry it to California and we go to a FFL here together?

My understanding it could be done both ways but I was recently told that it has to be done by sending it via an FFL and cannot be done in person together.

That is dependent on the FFL your using. Some are OK with doing it that way, some aren't. I'm not aware of any law that says it has to be shipped. It's probably FFL's acting in an over abundance of caution that won't handle it hand carried in.

Thanks for the clarification, this was my understanding as well.

I just had a conversation with someone from my LGS and they mentioned that if my parents hand carry the firearm into California and give it to me, I can just fill out the paperwork for the DOJ and pay the $19 registration fee and I'm good to go. I don't believe this is legal to do for out of state intrafamiliar transfers. Just wanted to verify that I need to go through an FFL as I thought the 10 day wait period applies to these type of transfers.

You’re correct. That’s not legal. It’s a violation of federal law (18 USC 922(a)(3) and 18 USC 922(a)(5)) which would make you and your parents eligible for up to 5 years in federal prison and a lifetime loss of gun rights.

As fiddletown noted, you are correct. The LGS is ignorant of applicable federal law and apparently is merely looking at CA law.

You should suggest that your LGS look it up so that they not give out bad information. fiddletown has provided the applicable sections, should they need guidance in locating the applicable law. I would not be too critical of your LGS as it appears that they were merely trying to save you some time and money without knowing the jeopardy that would create.

Sadly, many people get that same answer when they call the DOJ.

Day the DROS was transmitted to Sacramento (IOTW, if the DROS system was down when you made the purchase, then 30 days from when the dealer was able to transmit)
Same for the 10 day wait.... so it's 20-days after your earliest pickup date.
You can theoretically transfer 12 per year if you work the 28/31 day months right.... Sundays and holidays can be a problem though, Make a purchase Jan 2 and you pick up your 12th gun on Dec 28.

Hello
Apologies if this is covered somewhere else. I looked. Couldn't find an answer to my specific question.

I have a DDM4 that I will not be registering. I want to transfer ownership to my adult son in Oregon before 7/1/18. My question is, can I transport this firearm to an Oregon FFL for paperwork? Or am I required to use a CA FFL for legal transfer?

thx

You can take it yourself. The hard part is getting the dealer to understand that a 4473 needs to be filled out for the interstate transfer. Do yourself a favor beforehand and either bookmark on your smart phone or print the appropriate parts of 18 USC 922 (a) before you go.

Yes.

Call ahead to the CA FFL to be sure they understand the FFL is required for interstate transfer - if they say 'file the oplaw form', they do NOT understand - and to be sure their business practice will allow a walk-in.

It is still treated as a dealer transfer, not a PPT, so the $35 max transfer fee does not apply. The cost will be the same whether you hand-carry or ship it in other than the shipping charge.

It does NOT matter if that state's state law does not require an FFL for a private transfer, because we're trying to obey Federal law.
IF the receiving family member is a CA resident, the transfer of any gun at all requires the CA FFL.
So the Feds exempt long guns from FFL requirement but CA does not?

Pretty sure feds don't exempt interstate long gun transfers from FFL. Not sure where you're getting that from.

Context of question is interstate intra-familial

The bit I quoted had a statement specific to handguns for Federal requirements, then separate line indicating CA requires FFL no matter the type. It infers that Federal interstate intra-familial does not require FFL.

Hence my question.

No, Federal law still requires the FFL for long guns, but the Feds will accept an FFL anywhere: a TX resident and an OK resident could make the transfer at an AR FFL.

CA law won't allow that for CA residents; following the laws of the respective states of residence is required.

Hello all, I just joined the site and I am trying to figure all of this out.

I have a question, my wife goes to another state to visit family members. While there she decides to buy an off roster gun as a gift for me and has it shipped to CA FFL.

Is this allowed? I am sure there is something in CA that would not allow something like this from happening.

You/wife cannot buy a firearm in another state while on vacation. That’s a federal restriction.

Where is that restriction listed? Everything I have looked at says that you can buy a gun in another state as long as it is sent to a CA FFL. I dont see anything about vacation or otherwise.


As of January 1, 2015, a law in California supplants the federal law. It, too, prohibits California residents from buying guns out of state and simply driving home with them (or shipping them home). Now, the seller must ship to a licensed California dealer, who will treat the event like any in-state transaction, involving the waiting period, background check, and safety certificate. (Cal. Penal Code §§ 26840, 27540, 27545, and 27585.)

Under federal law, dealers who are selling to out-of-state residents must ship the gun to a licensed California dealer to complete the transaction. (18 U.S.C.A. § 922.) The recipient dealer must follow state law, by honoring the ten-day waiting period, completing a purchaser background check, and requiring that the purchaser have a handgun safety certificate. (The law exempts licensed dealers, manufacturers, and others.) But this federal law has often not been enforced, due to lack of resources.

You have to be a resident of a state to buy a firearm in that state. Now you can pay for a gun and have the out of state FFL send the gun directly to a CA FFL if they do CA sales and you'll be subject to all CA laws as if buying from a CA FFL so off roster pistols will not be able to be transacted in CA. If it were that easy everyone would do it.

Here you go homie:

https://www.atf.gov/firearms/qa/may-...-another-state

Quote:
May a licensee sell a firearm to a nonlicensee who is a resident of another State?

Generally, a firearm may not lawfully be sold by a licensee to a nonlicensee who resides in a State other than the State in which the seller’s licensed premises is located. However, the sale may be made if the firearm is shipped to a licensee whose business is in the purchaser’s State of residence and the purchaser takes delivery of the firearm from the licensee in his or her State of residence. In addition, a licensee may sell a rifle or shotgun to a person who is not a resident of the State where the licensee’s business premises is located in an over–the–counter transaction, provided the transaction complies with State law in the State where the licensee is located and in the State where the purchaser resides.

[18 U.S.C. 922(b)(3); 27 CFR 478.99(a)]

I think this is where I am getting hung up on. I apologize if this is a bother

"However, the sale may be made if the firearm is shipped to a licensee whose business is in the purchaser’s State of residence and the purchaser takes delivery of the firearm from the licensee in his or her State of residence."

If it is shipped from FFL to FFL then there is no problem per that statement.

So, if my wife buys off roster as a gift and it is now interstate family transfer and thus can be an off roster gun and still sent to an FFL.

She would not be bringing it back with her, the purchase happened legally, letter of gift would be sent with the weapon and it all goes thru an FFL. From what I see it meets all the requirements that have to be met.

Your wife would not be taking possession of the gun until it is in CA at which point it would have to be on roster for her to take possession. Just paying an FFL out of state does not put the gun into the buyers name. An intrafamilial (off roster) transfer has to originate with possession outside of CA and since you and your wife cannot take possession outside of CA, you cannot use that method to obtain an off roster gun.

She can buy it.

But, since she is a CA resident, it has to go to her, as the buyer, delivered at a CA FFL.

That will work only if the handgun would be on Roster.

She cannot buy it, never take possession, and have it shipped to you as a gift. Neither could your or her parents do that - have to actually buy and own/take possession, then send. CA DOJ inspectors are enforcing the law that way.

So it all comes down then to possession. Since she would not be able to take possession of it as an out of state resident she is not technically able to send it to me as a gift.

Thank you for helping understand everyone.

My father is in the process of moving back to cal from AZ ( I know, i tried talking them out but no luck). He will be transferring some firearms to me. My question is. Does he need to register them first and then transfer? Hes gifted me before through intrafamilial. But now that hes moving back will the process be different?

Your father will need proof of CA residency before he can transfer to you. Maybe he can volreg with just a CA address and do it quicker?

Hey all! Question here regarding gifts.

If my dad (Colorado) was to gift me (California) a firearm, does he have to actually own the firearm to gift it to me?

Is it possible for him to have it sent to me as a gift without him actually owning the firearm, or would he need to go through the entire process of buying a firearm in Colorado, taking possession of it, and then having it sent to an FFL in California?

Looking to get a P320 or something similar which isn't on the CA roster unfortunately.

Yes, he has to own it; that's what the DOJ folks are telling the FFLs.

A coworker has a son in Florida that wants to gift him a G43. The LGS he called said they couldn't take an off roster gun, even from his son.

Has anything changed lately, or is this just the gun shop choosing not to do it? And if it is still allowed, are there any shops in Solano County area you know of that would do it?

That should be a family transfer. AFAIK that exempts the roster requirement.

Example of interstate intrafamilial transfer

Suppose you live in California, and your grandparent lives in Texas. Your grandparent wants to give you a pistol as a gift.

Since your grandparent is yet living, this transfer is not an inheritance.
Because it is interstate, Texas to California, the pistol must go to a CA FFL - the receiver may not take possession until the transfer has occurred at the CA FFL - so

CALL the FFL ahead of time to see if he understands interstate intrafamilial transfer; any FFL who suggests you do not need his services for an interstate intrafamilial transfer does NOT understand it.
ASK about the fees; there are no regulations limiting the transfer fees on interstate transfer.
ASK whether the FFL will accept a shipment from a non-licensed person; that is legal, but some have a business practice to accept only from other licensed persons.

Handguns transferred via intrafamilial transfer are NOT subject to the Roster.
Handguns should be accompanied by a letter of gift, specifying giver's name and relationship (e.g. John Smith, Grandfather), the handgun (e.g. Glock 17 9mm pistol, serial 12345), and the receiver's name (e.g. Little Jimmy Smith).
Since the transfer must use a CA FFL, the ordinary rules for an FFL transfer must be followed, including background check and 10-day wait. The receiver should be at least 18 years old for a long gun, 21 for a handgun; if a handgun, the receiver may have an unexpired Handgun Safety Certificate; otherwise, from 2015 forward, a Firearms Safety Certificate is required for any firearm.
The FFL should use the DROS "Curio/Relic/Exempt" process, and add a comment "27870PC intrafamily transfer".

I just got done doing this exact same trans action ( Utah to Ca off roster pistol from parent ) UG Imports in Fremont did mine .. he is a member on here knows exactly what to do and is great to work with . Be warned tho shipping as a private party person is expensive ... they only allow over night shipping for handguns. Good luck

Hello Calguns,
I am a CA resident currently visiting my parents here in TX.
and my mother purchased an off roster handgun to gift it to me.
I called multiple local gun shops in socal, and they told me that
sending it to FFL is not needed since my mother purchased the gun
face to face for me here in TX where I'm currently visiting. and in my knowledge that, my mother still need to shipped the handgun to an FFL to complete intrafamilial transfer. And I am scared to bring a handgun back home if its not legal for me to do.
