1 handgun every 30 days?

[L4D]

Does that count when doing a PPT?
What are the laws regarding purchasing multiple handguns in 30 days?

[BayAreaShooter]

PPT's are exempt from the one every 30 days.

[Ubermcoupe]

Yes, PPTs/intrafamilial transfers/inheritances are all 1/30 exempt.

New guns are more dangerous than used ones.

I agree. It is very dangerous for your bank account plus you have to pay taxes too.

[fuenstock]

Is there also a 6 handgun max per year that can be bought by one person? Is that only for new handguns?

[Quiet]

The limit has to do with selling, not buying.

CA laws limits the amount of handguns you can sell to less than six transactions during a calendar year. [PC 12070(c)(1)(A)]

The only thing that limits you from buying is your finances.


Penal Code 12070
(a) No person shall sell, lease, or transfer firearms unless he or she has been issued a license pursuant to Section 12071. Any person violating this section is guilty of a misdemeanor.
(b) Subdivision (a) does not include any of the following:
(4) The infrequent sale, lease, or transfer of firearms.
(c)(1) As used in this section, "infrequent" means:
(A) For pistols, revolvers, and other firearms capable of being concealed upon the person, less than six transactions per calendar year. For this purpose, "transaction" means a single sale, lease, or transfer of any number of pistols, revolvers, or other firearms capable of being concealed upon the person.
(B) For firearms other than pistols, revolvers, or other firearms capable of being concealed upon the person, occasional and without regularity.

I tried and tried to buy one handgun every 30 days but I can't keep up. I am not a rich man for gosh sakes! Damn this law!

I'm glad that they want us to keep our guns and not sell them.

So does this mean you can sell more than six handguns a year just not more than six "sales"

[707electrician]

Now what if you do a PPT on a handgun and then want to later buy a new one. Do you have to wait 30 days before buying the new one?

[GW]

I tried and tried to buy one handgun every 30 days but I can't keep up. I am not a rich man for gosh sakes! Damn this law!

You know it, brother!
I'm all for supporting the economy and the second amendment but having to buy a new handgun every 30 days is stretching my finances to the breaking point.

[kenjimatic]

The 1 in 30 day applies to guns that are in the dealers inventory, so even used guns that are in their inventory applies to the 1 in 30 days. I've been doing this for the pass 3 months and it sucks(the last one was a gen 1 G19 police trade in for $259+tax+dros, dam impulse ). Like everyone else has mentioned you can private party transfer as many as long as you have the funds for it.

[Quiet]

Yes.
Six transaction a year. Any amount can be done in one transaction.
Although multiples during a single transaction does require the CA FFL dealer to notify the BATFE and CA DOJ BOF, this is in accordance to Federal laws/regulations.

Just buy a lot of Hi Points.
