FFLs Won't Ship

[FourT6and2]

Every time I find a gun I like that's not a Cali model from a shop out-of-state, they always decline to sell to me because I'm in California, even when I tell 'em they can ship it to another FFL who will do a SSE. They all say the same thing, that it's either illegal or that they don't want to invite trouble. And this is from reputable shops who come highly recommended.

That's California's grand scheme, to make it difficult for Californians to get their hands on firearms. Your best bet is to find a CA friendly out of state FFL or a middleman. In the logical world I would sue CA for interfering with freedom of commerce but in this liberal state that's probably not going to fly.

No, that's the point. These shops won't even ship to a "middleman" FFL that is NOT in CA. As soon as you say "California," they freak. For example, a shop in Mississippi has a gun I want. They won't even ship it to a shop in Oregon for an SSE if they know it will eventually find its way to California.

Don't tell them anything.

Call Ryan and tell him what you want, where it's at, pay HIM so HE can order it, do the SSE and ship it to your LGS for transfer.

Oh snap, didn't realize he would do that. The situation is compounded, though, by the fact that the gun I want is on order. It's not in-stock, physically. So I'd have to put a deposit down and wait wait wait.

I suggest you simply watch for the gun you want here in California in the used market and then just PAY WHAT IS NEEDED to get it. Otherwise... MOVING is your only other option.

That's why you sue in Federal Court under the 10th Amendment interstate commerce clause.

Of course that means the 9th circus -- the most overturned circuit court in the US.

If it's legal then Gunbroker ought to have a policy they can't exclude ca sales,
we all know it is a bitc* but this is ridiculous, sellers taking it out on cal gunners, who stand at the FRONT LINE of the gun control battle

Problem is that are a lots misinformed people on Kalifornia gun laws, before making a bid via GunBroker.com, shoot them the question and educate them.
