Question regarding AZ resident moving to CA with off-roster handguns.
I have a cousin whom is a resident of AZ and has zero ties to CA. She has 5 handguns not on the CA roster.
I am aware she can bring them assuming they are CA compliant and she has no intentions of selling them. But what if she changes her mind once she is a resident of CA and decides to sell them even though she had no plans to sell them before moving to CA? That is a hypothetical situation but I am just trying to find out how there are so many Sig P365s, Hellcats, Staccatos, and Gen 5 Glocks for sale on the Handgun Marketplace? Do that many LEOs/Active Duty Military members buy and sell them to private parties? Last edited by Xplosiv3; 09-20-2022 at 5:30 PM.. |

Or are LEOs/Military not limited in terms of selling their firearms to private civilians. Or are they under the same rule, that they can buy the handguns with no intentions of selling them, but can legally change their mind once they have them and then sell them. |

Unless the person is a CA FFL dealer, that person is limited by the amount of transfers and firearms they can legally conduct within a calendar year. [PC 26520]
Penal Code 26500 (a) No person shall sell, lease, or transfer firearms unless the person has been issued a license pursuant to Article 1 (commencing with Section 26700) and Article 2 (commencing with Section 26800) of Chapter 2. Penal Code 26520 (a) Section 26500 does not apply to the infrequent sale, lease, or transfer of firearms. (b) As used in this section, “infrequent” has the meaning provided in Section 16730. Penal Code 16730 (a) As used in Section 31815 and in Division 6 (commencing with Section 26500) of Title 4, “infrequent” means both of the following are true: (1) The person conducts less than six transactions per calendar year. (2) The person sells, leases, or transfers no more than 50 total firearms per calendar year. (b) As used in this section, “transaction” means a single sale, lease, or transfer of any number of firearms. |

Yes, and some end up being called prison inmates and/or prohibited possessors. |

You can do up to 50 firearms in a single transaction (in which case you can only do that one transaction within the year).

Off-roster handguns also make their way into the state through interstate intrafamilial transfer process.
A parent, grandparent, or adult child that is living out of state can gift an off-roster handgun to a CA resident as long as the transfer is done through a CA FFL. If some time later the person decides they no longer want that off-roster gun, they can sell in CA through the PPT process.

I wouldn't think so. They give you a limit for a reason.

Wrong.
The limit is California law. But a charge of the unlawful dealing in firearms without a license is usually prosecuted by the federal government for violation of the federal firearm license laws. Those are very different laws.

You are on the money, as usual. I phrased my post as a question as I think I all too often pontificate. I seem to recollect a few years ago that the feds brought some prosectutions based on the sale of just a small number of guns. Either prosocutions or I read a publication advising that a prosecution could be based on a mere two or three firearms.

I believe the article I quoted is three years old, and the law may have been updated. I haven't checked and feel free to research if there is any. Last edited by Chewy65; 09-30-2022 at 10:46 AM.. |
