I have some guns I want to transfer to my son who just turned 22 and has his FSC card. What's the easiest & cheapest way to do it ? I'm in OC. Thanks

Intra-Familial Transfer.

$19 for as many firearms as you want. Do it electronically through CFARS.

He must be ca reident to do that otherwise must go thru ffl in his state of residence.

TY. I'm transferring quite a few guns to him, is it $19 per gun or $19 for all of them ?

For all done at one time/reported on one form or in one CFARS transaction.

You’ll notice on the Form that you don’t fill it out. He fills it out and the Question How Acquired, he just writes GIFT FROM FATHER.

“$19 for as many firearms as you want.”

Some more info from the link I cited:

Report of Intra-Familial Firearm Transaction

Pursuant to Penal Code sections 16720 and 27875, a person that is at least 18 years of age and who has a valid Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC) may take title or possession of a firearm by gift, bequest, intestate succession or by other means from an immediate family member, in-lieu of completing the transfer through a licensed firearms dealer provided that the transfer is infrequent and that the Report of Intra-Familial Firearm Transaction is submitted within thirty (30) days of the transfer.

Pursuant to California Penal Code section 16720 an “immediate family member” means either of the following relationships: Parent and child, or grandparent and grandchild.

Use the Report of Intra-Familial Firearm Transaction if:

You are at least 18 years of age or older
You have either a California identification, driver license or military identification
You have a California residential (street) address
You are not prohibited from owning/possessing firearms
The firearm being reported was acquired in-state as a gift from an immediate family member (as defined by Penal Code section 16720)
You currently possess a valid FSC, or in the case of a handgun, a valid unexpired Handgun Safety Certificate (HSC), or a FSC exemption, pursuant to Penal Code section 31700
The firearm is not an assault weapon as defined in Penal Code sections 30210 through 30530

That's awesome, I was thinking if each gun had to be DROS'd, I'm looking at $1500-2000 in DOJ fees. Thanks again for your help.

No, not lucky, he's earned every one by having to put up with me over the last 22 years. I've been collecting guns since 1968 and have been very lucky to find some cool stuff, so I want to make sure my son gets most of them.

I raised my boy, he's the light of my life, 100x better of a person than I was and he's such an exemplary human being in every way. I need to make sure the things I've spent my life collecting goes to him and not my wife, her sister or the Gov't after I'm dead.

Thanks again for your help.

What do you mean? This crazed father is arming his son?

I'm doing the same for my son this Christmas.

Do not transfer a gun on CFARS if you need it to be included in AFS anytime in the near future. This is usually only a problem if one wants to list it on their CCW and if you IA is one of the ones that will not let it be added if it does not appear in AFS as being registered to the permitee.

Also, please note that it is the son who submits the Report ofIntra-Familiar Firearm Transaction over CFARS. True. Multiple firearms can be listed on one such report for a single $19 fee.

But take any handguns to be listed on your son's CCW to be transferred as a PPT by an FFL making sure that the FFL will deliver if your son status becomes undetermined.
