    Question about buying a gun PPT

    If I buy a handgun from a private person, how does the person selling it prove that they are the owner? Does the DOJ even care about that, or are they only concerned about who the gun is being DROS's to?

    In my opinion from experience, while they 'might' care who the owner/seller is, they don't focus on anything except getting the gun registered to the buyer and doing a background check on him. Some have said they don't cross check numbers, mainly because it's not required all guns be registered and certainly rifles/shotguns weren't registered until 2013.

    This is only my observation from selling my late Uncles gun collection and selling guns for friends out of the Country. I was the Seller and none of these guns were registered to me.

    One issue might be a stolen gun.

    You can glean some clues by reading the new 2015 Oplaw Form. They've added more categories as the source of the gun, which indicates to me (at least) that they care about getting the gun registered (prime directive) than the fact you
    Might have got it paperless from a private party or at a gun show.

    This is just my opinion and just because CDOJ doesn't follow up on something doesn't make it perfectly legal. They do 3500-5500 DROS and transfers Per Day...

    Fewer people are killed with all rifles each year (323 in 2011) than with shotguns (356), hammers and clubs (496), and hands and feet (728).

      See the wiki article -- http://wiki.calgunsfoundation.org/Firearms_registration

      The DOJ cannot check ownership, as not all guns are registered, and that condition is legal.

      Further discussion to the Legal forum, please.
