selling a non ca approved HANDGUN?

[Dalkire1980]

Hello, new here. I am a PO, I would like to sell a NON ca approved 44 smith and wesson to a buddy that is not a PO. I was told I can because I bought it first. This true. I want everything to be on the up and up here.

You're good to go.

Thank You, appreciate the info.....

No problem and welcome aboard!

Non-rostered pistols for sale are only possible through a private sale or through an LEO to civi sale.

The approved list only applies to sales from an FFL to a non-exempt (e.g. non law enforcement) person. That's it. Has nothing to do with a gun's legality or the ability to sell it via private sales, etc etc etc. You're fine.

Is there a limit to how many off-roster handguns an LEO can sell to non-LEO folks? This story that's currently running on Fox caught my attention. It seems like these Sheriff's deputies bought (large?) quantities of off-roster handguns and sold to non-LEOs, but now they are being investigated by BATFE.

Also, would the non-LEO purchasers face any repercussions of this type of investigation? I assume that the firearms in question were legally transferred.

Is there a limit

Does the less than six per year thing work here?

Its playing the line of a "straw purchase"

• "PPT" (private party transfers) between individuals, mediated by
  a CA FFL - with consequent paperwork & 10 day wait - are indeed
  Roster exempt.
  
  The Roster basically is a gating element for (re)selling handguns
  that the FFL himself acquires. However, Roster does not apply to
  consignment sales.
• People - regardless of LEO status - should not sell handguns, even
  though required CA FFL is used - in over 5 transactions per year.
  Note that the transaciton count is limited, not the actual number of handguns.

Straw purchase, and/or dealing without a license.

Given the BATFE is involved, and the BATFE doesn't give a rat's patootie about the roster (though they do insist that California law be followed)... I suspect that their primary interest is in the resales exceeding "infrequent"

as long as you & your friend go to a FFL together and you sell it to him/her via a Private Party Transfer (PPT), which should be a $35 transfer fee to the FFL wherever you go, you should be good to go.

PPT = good to go.

Lucky friend. Like said above just don't be pulling a straw purchase.

****ing idiots are going to ruin it for every LEO....

I see a future in a website dedicated to "CA LEOs wishing to advertise their excess firearms for sale". Maybe I should create one just to see how long it would be before I had a visitor with an IP address that traced back to the BATFE and/or the CA DOJ...
