Several sales / purchase questions, please.

[oliveview]

I have two questions:

1) In CA, assuming a face-to-face transaction is made (through a FFL of course) there is NO limitation of one gun per thirty-days. Correct? A person could conceivably purchase as many guns as they wanted at one time?

2) I have a handgun that is fifteen-twenty years old. I think I may have been the one who bought it, but it's possible my Dad carried out the transaction. I don't entirely remember, nor does he. It's just been too long. The question being, if I want to sell that handgun, are there any legal issues or requirements of proof of ownership? How does that work? I've never actually sold a gun before.

Thanks so much.

1) Correct. At one instant, or every day. Unless you live in the city of Los Angeles, that has its own 1-in-30 that DOES apply to PPT.

2) No problem; PPT guns are checked against stolen, not ownership; lots of handguns are legally owned but not known to the state.

Great. Thanks so much for the specific information.

In regards to the LA-specific 30-day rule. I live in LA county, but NOT in the city. Is it literally only LA city residents whom are affected by that supplemental restriction? I know you said "city" but I just wanted to be totally clear, myself.

Thank you.

City only.

My question to #2

Say a buddy owes me money and is giving me his hand gun to try out so I have gun in my possession and I decide to take it but to resell do I have to put in my name first or can I sell it like that.

If my question makes some sense.

Fabulous. Thank you, Librarian.

In order for you to re-sell it, first he must properly transfer it to you at an FFL, do the fee and 10-day wait thing.

Then, you can sell it to someone else.
