    It is legal, but it must be shipped to an FFL here in California. It must either be on the roster or exempt.

        This.
        You can not hand-carry it home, and an FFL an not transfer an off-roster gun to you.
        So while there is a legal path to buy a gun from someone out of state, the simple answer to your question is "No, that is not a legal way to obtain an off-roster gun"

          You cannot buy off roster guns from people out of state unless the gun or the buyer is roster exempt. Also new or used does not matter.

            Not legal for a CA resident to do that. Residents of other states do not enjoy the wisdom and beneficence of the CA Legislature...

            It's an FAQ - legal details in the sticky, http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/s...d.php?t=503873

            Frozen in 2015, it is falling out of date and I can no longer edit the content. But much of it is still good!
