Selling Python

[saki302]

If someone from CA with a valid C&R license drives TO YOU, they can pay cash and take it home immediately. They would just have to do the $19 DOJ reg form when they get home.

IMO with something valuable like a Python, that's the way I would do it.

But if you are not a CA resident and the revolver is out of state (Nevada?), only way to sell it in CA is through SAE (single action exemption). Not something I'd be too fond of doing to a classic Python.

It is C&R and roster exempt.

It can't be a PPT because you aren't a CA resident

However you can ship it to a FFL in CA ( after getting the DOJ approval to ship letter) and he can register it to a CA resident. And yes they will charge the buyer sales tax.

I'm pretty sure you can drive it over state lines and meet the buyer at the FFL as well but you might want to check with the FFL first

64 Python is a rare one, I'd keep it if I were you but very nice of you to offer it to CA collectors first �� thanks for that!!

Not true. The gun is C & R eligible and exempt from the roster. He can ship it as is to a CA FFL dealer. I'm in NorCal, have a C & R and (were I wanting the gun) would have no problem driving to Reno, buying "cash & carry" rather than having it sent to a CA FFL. As others have said, that's the easy way to do it.

As an aside, temporarily converting the gun to SA only (were it not C & R eligible) is easy, does nothing to the outside of the gun and once reversed no one will ever know.

To answer some of the questions.

Yes it is definitely over 50 years old so is a C&R and does not fall under all that roster nonsense.

Yes when it is received into the PRC system sales tax will have to be paid.

My FFL in Tahoe says he does NOT collect sales tax on private party sales.

Correct, PPT sales do not require sales tax to be collected.

If this is sold to a CA resident, it's not a private party sale.
For it to be a PPT, both parties need to be present and be residents of CA.

If it's coming from a "private party" out of state, going through the standard DROS process and not the "CA PPT" process he doesn't charge Sales Tax. IF it comes from a vendor out of state he does charge sales tax.

You're right, it's not a PPT.

It's a private party SALE.

Sales between two individuals do not require the collection of sales tax. This includes sales between residents of different states.

The problem is that the DOJ and BOE have put such a fear into LGS about collecting sales tax that most all LGS will collect sales tax even when they aren't supposed to.

That is not correct. Because it is more than 50 years old it is a C&R and exempt from the roster on that basis. I DROSed two S&W C&R revolvers I had shipped from out-of-state dealers yesterday. I had to use by 03 FFL to get around the one in thirty days requirement. But the roster does not apply to C&R handguns.

This is not correct. Unless you have an 01 FFL, a DOJ shipping approval number is not required to ship to a California FFL. It does not make any sense, but this is California.

Well, it's all a moot point now. It is sold pending funds.

Good, Nice price on a nice looking gun.

All handguns shipped to CA have to be shipped to a 01 FFL
