What's the requirement to buy handgun in CA

[tteng]

For a private-party-transfer, I know we have to go through a FFL-01 dealer. What other documentation is required from the buyer/or seller?

[brighamr]

the buyer will have to present his handgun safety certificate to the FFL, pay the dros, and have proof of a cali-compliant lock or safe. I'm pretty sure that's all that's needed.

Don't forget proof of residence.

[CalNRA]

your right thumb for the finger printing, as well as a state ID(CA ID or CA DRL)

so to recap, you need:

CA ID,
Proof of Residence
HSC
money for the transfer as agreed with the dealer(otherwise it's a theft )
your right thumb

and if you lost your right thumb in a fire-cracker incident, your SOL

and if you lost your right thumb in a fire-cracker incident, your SOL

well, at least you won't need a thumbhole stock or a PG for pistol-style grasp
