Question re Variation on PPT

[big50_1]

I understand the Handgun Cert. List. I understand private party transfers and have been part of them. BUT if a gun I want that is not on the list is in NorCal and I live in SoCal, can a gun seller send the gun down to a FFL in SoCal for me? OR can it go FFL to FFL? OR does PPT have to be face to face only? Am I making sense?

You're making sense. I've read on here that it can be done, that is, the PPT paperwork started up north then sent down with the weapon to the SoCal FFL to finish. But, finding a set of FFL's that will do it is another thing. I've talked to a very "liberal" FFL and he wouldn't be part of that at all. Imagine trying to find two that will?
Call DOJ and pose that question to them, if they say it is OK then ask for them to cite the section/code or whatever that allows it. Then ask them to follow up with that information detailed to you in a letter. If you get all that you'll be "king of the hill" for a few days!

It is probably more of a logistical/operational challenge. The buyer's FFL needs copies of sellers' documents (id, residency, HSC, etc.) and a thumb print from the seller.

The buyer's FFL gets the completed documentation and a thumb print that would be submitted on blind faith since it was not taken in the FFL's presence. If the paperwork and thumb print were performed by a trusted third party known to the buyer's FFL, like another FFL, it should be possible and legal.

The reason I'm posing the question was that I saw a great gun on CALGUN.NET at a very nice price in northern CA while I live in southern CA. I took a look at the gas (up and back twice) and maybe a nights stay over at a cheap motel for the 450-500 mile one way trip and that alone added $325 to the gun price not counting DROS. I'm kinda' getting the idea that a private party transfer is, by definition, a face-to-face thing. Was thinking how to overcome the north-south distance issue for a not-on-gun-cert-list handgun for an in-state transfer.

What if a notary certified the paperwork at the first FFL and the paperwork was certified mail (handled securily) to the second FFL? The first transaction was certified and the transmittal of the documents was certified; ergo, the receiving FFL gets "clean" docs. -- Hey, guys, this going to work everyday is cutting into my traveling and finding great guns! This is BS!

maybe this is something for legalzoom.com to take on!
