If a son moves to California and wishes to gift his California resident father a handgun, should he first report the handgun to California in the 60 day window and then gift the gun, or can he gift the gun to the father during the 60 day window without reporting it first?

He can gift it when he arrives. I'd wait until he gets his driver license and address here so it doesn't look like an interstate transfer that would have to go through an FFL.
If it's off roster I'd list it on his registration papers first just to show it's in CA legally. He wasn't "just away at college" was he? CA may have considered him still a resident. In that case all his guns would need to be CA legal and be sent to an FFL for transfer to him in his home state (fed rule). Last edited by M1NM; 11-30-2022 at 2:16 PM.. |

Yes. [PC 31700(a)(9)]
If submitting report via downloaded form and mailing it in, then write in "X41 CCW Permit Holder" in the FSC box on the form and include a copy of the valid CA CCW permit with the report. If submitting report online via CFARS, then enter "999999" in the FSC box and enter "FSC exemption code X41 CCW permit holder" in the Comments box and upload a picture of the valid CA CCW permit. Penal Code 31700 (a) The following persons, properly identified, are exempted from the firearm safety certificate requirement in subdivision (a) of Section 31615: (9) Any individual who has a valid concealed weapons permit issued pursuant to Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 26150) of Division 5.

The fact that the gun is off-roster is not an issue?

If the intent was to import it into CA for transfer, then yes, it would be considered a violation of the CA unsafe handgun laws. [PC 32000(a)(1)]
If the intent was to import it into CA to keep, then it would be exempt from CA unsafe handgun laws because they meet the requirements for a personal firearms importer, which allows the legal importation of CA legal off-Roster handguns. [PC 17000(a)(7)] ^After moving to CA, nothing prohibits the personal firearms importer from changing their mind from keeping it to needing to sell/transfer it due to financial hardship. What must be avoided, is the establishment or acknowledgement that the intent was to bring the off-Roster handguns into CA for transfer. ^Posting "what should I buy and bring to CA for sale" type posts or collecting pre-orders from CA residents on a forum that is routinely monitored by LE agencies is considered establishing the intent to import for transfer and can be used as proof of violating CA unsafe handgun laws. Penal Code 32000 (a)(1) A person in this state who manufactures or causes to be manufactured, imports into the state for sale, keeps for sale, offers or exposes for sale, gives, or lends an unsafe handgun shall be punished by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year. Penal Code 17000 (a) As used in this part, until January 1, 2014, any reference to the term “personal firearm importer” shall be deemed to mean “personal handgun importer” and, on and after January 1, 2014, any reference to the term “personal handgun importer” shall be deemed to mean “personal firearm importer.” A “personal handgun importer,” until January 1, 2014, and commencing January 1, 2014, a “personal firearm importer” means an individual who meets all of the following criteria: (7) The individual intends to possess that handgun within this state on or after January 1, 1998, or in the case of a firearm that is not a handgun, he or she intends to possess that firearm within this state on or after January 1, 2014.

There is this thing that is useful for avoiding criminal culpability for violation of unjust laws - It is "keep quiet about it".
A very great many convictions occur based mostly on admissions by the accused - do not be that guy.

Your father having a CCW suggests he will want to add the gun to it. Some IA's will not add it until it is registered with AFS. If this may cause a problem, its worth transferring the firearm to your father in a PPT.

^^^^ TRUE DAT ^^^^ JUST ASK BRUCE ABRAMSKI ..... HE DIDN'T EVEN ADMIT TO ANY WRONG DOING. F'n ATF and SCOTUS back in 2014 moved the goal post and changed the accepted definition of "STRAW PURCHASE". NOW based on INTENTIONS, rather than the prior standard of PROHIBITED PERSON. ![]() Changing as many law abiding citizens as possible into criminals as fast as possible.
