DOJ just cashed my check... what's next?

[MarikinaMan]

I did an intrafamilial transfer of handguns. I just saw that the DOJ cashed the check.

What happens next? Do I get a piece of paper saying the gun is now in my name?

I registered the guns as I shoot them. Ergo, theyre in my car often. For 20 bucks, I thought it was a minor expense to avoid what could be a big headachle. Possesion and transport of an unregistered handgun.

i did an intrafamilial a few years ago on one of my dad's guns when i still lived in CA

DOJ sent me a letter stating that they had received the form and updated their records - that's about it, took several weeks to get the letter

Possesion and transport of an unregistered handgun.

I don't think this law exists. There are a lot of hand guns that are not registered. They didn't always need to be, and it's not against the law to own one and transport it.

You're correct - no law against possession or transport of an unregistered handgun. (In 2017 and earlier).

The form the OP filed documents a completed action. You and he need not wait for any acknowledgement.

As far as I know, it exists in the form of an increased penalty when coupled with concealed carry. When one is caught outside the home with an unregistered firearm, it goes from a citation to a felony.

Unless, of course, it is carried unloaded in a locked case - the legal way to transport a handgun without CCW.

I also send the intrafamilial transfer of 4 bullet button long guns to my wife on Dec 22th by next day mail. DOJ cashed the check on Jan 5th, 2017. Nothing in the mail as of today. Getting little worry now as well.

Our DOJ letter easily took a couple months after check cashing...

Be patient

after they cash the check you will receive a letter stating you are the owner, too easy.

Mine took about 6 weeks from when I mailed the paperwork to receiving the docs in the mail. If I remember correctly, they say up to 12 weeks...

That is correct.
