    What guns should I keep in CA before moving?

    I'm normally not one to sell much of my stuff, but I wonder if I should bother selling a few items before I move. With the price of guns slowly increasing even in free states, I just wonder if its still wise to leave anything behind in today's current climate.

    Initially I was planning on taking EVERYTHING with me, but now I'm wondering if there's really any sort of "nobility" in leaving something hard to get in CA.

    Here's a list of what I have. What would you keep in a move out of state OR what would you leave in CA?

    HK
    -MARK 23 w/LAM and USSOCOM upper assembly
    -USP 45 Compact with CT Novak Sights and Tactical Barrel
    -USP 40 with Original MATCH parts, converted to 10mm
    -HK45C
    -P7M13
    -SP5 (Sicario clone with KAC rail and Aimpoint CompM3)

    Walther
    -P99AS w/ PDP upper
    -Q5 SF Expert
    -P88 Full Size w/ original Nills
    -P88 Champion w/ both barrel sets
    -P5C w/ original Nills

    IWI
    -Jericho 941F w/ rail [steel model]
    -Desert Eagle L6 frame, weaver upper assembly

    Beretta
    -M9A1 modified to SAO, 92 Combat Stock/92X Performance parts
    -Cougar 8045D w/ LAPD barrel and rail
    -PX4 45 Type C with Type F Fire Control

    FNH
    -FNX-45 Tactical Black
    -FN Five Seven

    Mateba
    -Unica 6 44 Magnum


    I guess another way of asking is if you had the same guns, in which order would you sell first to last, vice versa? I wasn't planning on selling but the move out to TX is also making me wonder if I should augment my funds as I transition that way.

    Advice is helpful. Thanks ladies and gents.

    Assuming CA roster laws stay the same, eventually all these guns will become roster exempt and thus importable.

    So I am not sure how 'noble' leaving one here now would be. I think the question as always comes down to simple economics.

      Sell everything but the P-7. You can replace them, if you want, in your new out of state location.

                are you moving to a state that’s cash and carry, no registry?

                  If it’s in the name of nobility, California can always use some HK SP5’s that are not 2-3x MSRP…

                    Please excuse my ignorance but do they become roster exempt and importable??

                      Yes they will. Once they are 50 years old, all handguns become C&R and roster exempt. They still need to comply with whatever AW laws are in place at the time of import.
                      Yes you can have 2 C&R 03 FFL's; 1 in California and 1 in a different state.

                          Sell all. Do them in separate sales to really piss of the state.

                            sounds like a divorce with benefits??

                            If your not living in CA? you can still have guns registered in CA?

                            sell all off roster guns on consignment with yours local ffl, next Enjoy freedom!

                              This was my thought as well.
