That's my understanding anyway, I would check in the 2nd ammendment forum for a definitive answer, the regulars there are better at the details of the future laws than I am.

Depends if you and your father are California residents. If you both are, he just hand you the long gun and you say thanks. If he lives out of state, he would have to ship it to a CA FFL, where you do the DROS, wait 10 days, then it is yours.

On a side not, .22 rifles in California do not REQUIRE any transfer through an FFL since the legislation specifies center fire, family or not. Of course the DOJ still encourages all transfers to be done through an FFL, it is not yet required by law.... Unless something has recently changed?

About 4 years ago I spoke to the Doj on this matter and they agreed it was not required. My only guess is that they were as out of the loop as me!! Thanks for the polite corrections....and again, my bad. |

The people who answer the phones at CalDOJ have about a 25% chance of giving you the correct answer. The laws are just too complicated for most pubic employees to understand.

There won't be a DROS in this case so it won't be run and to see if it was stolen. Since its a rifle and being a legal intra family transfer before 2014 you do not have to OPLAW/VOLREG it. So once again it won't come up. IMO you are not responsible for any items history unless you have reason to believe it was stolen. Not going to look up the PC but I'm pretty sure it says "knowingly receiving stolen goods" or something to that effect. Anyways it doesn't sound like your concern is if it was stolen. You are just interested in if the previous transfers where legal. |

Kenneth, I think you have the AR laws confused with transfers.
