Gun registration question????????????

[mikeinla]

I am in Los Angeles. A friend of mine is in from Arizona and he brought his pistol (Glock 34) with him to shoot at a range here. If I wanted to buy his Glock can we go to a FFL here and register it in my name or does he have to go back to Arizona and send it through a FFL???????? He bought and registed the Glock in Arizona.

He can sell it to you at a CA FFL. G34 is on the CA Roster, so that's OK. FFL can charge whatever interstate transfer fee he wants.

'Registration', as such, is a partial result of the CA Dealer Record of Sale -- DROS -- process.

I've heard of this being done using the Firearms Registration Record off of the DOJ site.

NO!

None of these forms are used to do an out-of-state transfer of a firearm.

Federal law requires an out-of-state transfer to be processed by a FFL dealer in the recipiant's home state.

Since, the OP's friend is a resident of AZ and the OP is a resident of CA, the firearm transfer must be done through a CA FFL dealer.
Since, the OP's friend is already in CA, they can both show up to a CA FFL dealer to do the transfer. Since, it is an out-of-state transfer, the CA FFL dealer can charge more than a PPT to process the transaction.
