Minimum age law on Jan 1, 2019 (FFL transfers only)
So Jan 1, 2019 is the date that you need to be 21 to buy any type of firearm unless you have a hunting license and want a long gun.
Does this apply to intrafamilial as well? My daughter turns 18 the first half of January and she has an AR that is "hers" but in my name since she is currently a minor. Having trouble finding the actual text of the law as passed/signed. I was planning on transferring it to her on her birthday (it's featureless) but not sure if that was still an option. With Newsom becoming governor on Jan 7, I am hoping to get the rifle into her name before he has time to sign anything new. I figure it will take him a few weeks at least before he starts really stirring the pot. Also, is it worth having it in her name with the potential new laws Newsom would like to have? More trouble than it's worth? |

Even now, 18 year olds can NOT buy just any long gun. They can only purchase "rifles" and "shotguns". There are plenty of non rifle and non shotgun long guns out there.
To answer your question, this ONLY applies to purchases going through CA FFLs. So, when your daughter turns 18, you can still give her any legal firearm including handguns. If you gave your daughter her AR prior to 2014(?), it didn't need to go through an intrafamiliar transfer since, CA DOJ would not accept it but, it was still legal to gift it to her. If you purchased said AR prior to 2014, it's not "in your name" or anyone else's name. It simply is not in the CA AFS unless you did a vol reg, AW reg, LEGR, personal importer form, etc.
