Selling guns I inherited - no intrafamilial transfer done
I have a few more guns given to me by my mom during a recent visit. They belonged to my dad who died in 2011. I did the intrafamilial transfer request online previously for the other guns he gave me years ago - which I’m keeping. My question is... Can I sell guns I inherited without having an intrafamilial transfer done? All of them have been in our family since the ‘80s & ‘90s so I have some but not all of the original bills of sale. My mom gave these all to me just recently. Can I sell rifles I inherited recently too?
Thanks in advance. Rick |

Are both you and your mother California residents?

You may also want to be careful about what you post online so you do not incriminate yourself.

Just an FYI, but you know that you can get these all legally in your name by submitting one single form and $19 total, right (assuming nothing falls under the AW laws)?
If you are worried about legalities, that might be the way to go. It'll take a couple of months to get the confirmation letters back from the State.

I won't be keeping all the guns I recently took possession of from my mom - I will be selling some of them. I just wondered if I needed to even do the intrafamilial transfer before I sell them because that process takes a while to complete by the DOJ. I will do the intrafamilial transfer for the ones I intend to keep. |

There are all sorts of ways to get rid of the guns but please be careful what you talk about on a public forum. Sell in Nevada and just tell the state you got rid of them out of state. there are several gun shows coming up in reno and Vegas in the next three months.

My intent is NOT to do anything illegal. I apologize if I didn’t come across clearly. My father gave me these guns before his death - they were purchased legally by him over the years and I took possession of the remaining ones very recently from my mother. If the answer is to go ahead and facilitate the intrafamilial transfer request with the DOJ, then that’s what I’ll do to account for every gun I took possession of. I’ll sell the ones I don’t want at a later time.
The purpose of my post was to get valuable information from a vested community with vast experience. I’ve nothing to hide so I find no reason to ask my question in private. Thanks for the insights. Last edited by RickT; 04-25-2019 at 7:53 PM.. |

That is good and no one was implying you were looking to do anything illegal but it sounded like you might want options. By all means go ahead and register everything with DOJ and pay the fees so they are in your name. then when you decide to sell list them or take them to a gun shop and pay the further state fees to get rid of them. you have your answer.

OP. IIRC, once you take possession of the firearms, you have a grace period. I can’t remember if it’s 30 or 60 days, to submit the required forms.
Should you sell them during that time, the registration would then be under the new owners name. And the politicians and their minions don’t care where they were, they care where they are going to be. That way, if the liberal utopia wins, they can go right to the front door and take them away. IANAL, and this is not legal advice. With all the underhanded B.S. the douchebag overlords are pulling, it’s getting hard to keep track of all the changes and crap. If I’m wrong on this, I’m sure someone will be along to correct me shortly.

There is no penalty for reporting after the 30 day window has elapsed. There are also no restrictions for selling the firearms during the 30 day time period. |

Failure to utilize a FFL equates to a Federal felony for everyone involved with the transfer. Which means for a CA resident to legally transfer a firearm to a NV resident, the transfer must be done through a NV FFL dealer. After the firearm is transferred, the CA resident can voluntarily inform CA DOJ that the firearm was sold out-of-state. This requires the buyer's info and the out-of-state FFL dealer's info. Starting 01-02-2020, all firearm transfers in NV must be done through a NV FFL dealer. Failure to utilize a NV FFL dealer equates to a misdemeanor for the first time and a felony for every time after the first. Exemptions to the new NV firearm transfer laws: A. The transfer is to a Gov/Mil/LE agency and an authorized employee of the Gov/Mil/LE agency. B. The transfer is of a firearm that is classified as an antique under Federal laws/regulations. C. The transfer is between spouses or family members. D. The transfer is temporary (loan) and needed to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm and the duration only lasts until the threat is no longer imminent. {time period when you call law enforcement and when they show up} E. The transfer is temporary (loan) and is done at a range, competition, performance and the lendee is physically present for the entire duration of the loan or the transfer is to a licensed hunter while hunting and the lendee is physically present for the entire duration of the loan.

There is a penalty (misdemeanor), if the person never reports and it is discovered.

If the transfer occured prior to 1990, was any reporting necessary? OP did mention something about the 1980's.

Thanks guys. You answered all my questions. Any money received from the sales of my dad's guns will go to my mom to help her out. She's in her late 70s and on a fixed income.
This is a great group and I appreciate you all. Rick |

Though someone recently posted that he did just that and the whole OpLaw request got kicked back because of the sale of one on the list. I didn't keep track of the thread so I don't know how it turned out. |

All the law says is that you must notify the department (DOJ) in a manner in which they prescribe (oplaw form). Neither the law nor the form state that you are not allowed to dispose of the item until they give the okay.
Sounds like the DOJ is screwing up as usual. Just like the DMV. |
