PPT it within 60 days, otherwise he has to register it with the .gov

It's about intent.

If he is moving to CA with the intent to keep the handguns, then he can legally import non-approved list handguns. [PC 12001(n)]

Within 60 days of establishing residency in CA, he will need to register the handguns with CA DOJ or, if he needs money due to finding out the higher cost of living in CA, sell the handguns to a CA FFL dealer, LE agency or via PPT. [PC 12072(f)(2)(A)]

If he is moving to CA with the intent to sell/transfer the handguns, then the handguns need to be on the approved list or else he violated CA state law. [PC 12125(a)]

Posting on a public forum, which is monitored by LEOs, does prove intent for what he is about to do.

I hope things have improved (wishful thinking) at the DMV in terms of license time frames. My son's license took nearly 3 month and my renewal (with no changes) took almost 4. Both were done this year. Working out the bugs in the new system.

There's no "new system". There are new DL/ID's and the company that makes them can't make them fast enough.
