I have a question regarding multiple gun purchases in CA I hope you guys can help me with. I apologize if this is a worn out subject from the past.
I recently asked a local dealer if I could purchase a handgun and a rifle at the same time under the same single DOJ background check. I was told 'No', that each purchase was subject to its own background check because handguns and rifle sales are recorded separately by the state.
To the contrary, I was told by my neighbor that a local FFL did exactly that for him by handling the sale and transfer of ownership of both a handgun and a rifle at the same time with one background check. Seems to me that it doesn't make sense that there would have to be two checks of the same person at the same time by the same department.
Does anyone know what the answer is, and where I may be able to find legal reference to this?
I thank you in advance.
