COE needed for face to face C&R transfer in CA?

[NapalmCheese]

I know I can go out of state, buy a C&R gun, bring it back, and then register. Can I transfer a C&R gun from someone (not a dealer) in California to myself and register without involving an 01? That is, without a COE.

You can acquire a C&R long gun within CA (not handgun) from an individual without using a 01 FFL if you have both 03 and COE

But you have to have a COE?

I've been avoiding getting one because I haven't yet felt like giving California any more money for something Fed Gov says I can do.

Soon you will need a 03/COE to buy more than one of *any* type firearm in a 30 day period. May as well bite the bullet and get ready, a lawsuit win to overturn that may be a way off.

Once or twice? You mean just one or two rounds right? If so you're on, wouldn't want to shoot too much ya know?
