gen4 glocks

[230infantry]

i know you cant buy gen 4 glocks in california but i was aware that if you bring it in out of state you can own it? i have a glock 17 that i got out here in louisiana where i'm stationed, my buddy is taking a law enforcement class called sport i think i'm not too sure of the name. he needs a pistol for this class and since i perfer a .40 to a 9 when i come home on leave can i give it to him ppt or no?

[Track Rat]

As long as he's not prohibited and a CA resident, you can PPT him an off roster handgun.

He can also get one in CA legally through SSE.

Yea PPT is fine.

SSE is only for brand new glock buying from FFL.

And you can bring it into state being you already purchased it. Your only legal issue I see is the mags are probably high caps.

[230infantry]

the class he is taking allows him to use the high caps for work purposes only so im guessing its ok? so its ok to ppt to him?

Do you have a LA or CA driver's license?

That's what I was thinking... If he bought the 17 out of state, he must be a resident of that state. Right???

[230infantry]

^^^ Good!

[230infantry]

so its alright to bring it home and give it to him? everythings all good?

I am no lawyer. I'd suggest that you contact a licensed firearms dealer near your CA home and ask them. You *will* have to complete the sales through a licensed dealer. You will likely have to fill out a CA DOJ form first since you are importing it from out of state.

how does that go? i know the laws are vastly different between the two states. here you can buy a handgun private sale at 18, which is how i got my 17 i'm 20. can i transfer it to my friend even though hes 19? cause unless the law has changed you can transfer someone a handgun at 18 if you want to gift it to them

Federal laws prohibits a FFL dealer in transferring a Title 1 Handgun or Title 1 Other firearm to a person under the age of 21 and only allows a FFL dealer in transferring a Title 1 Rifle or Title 1 Shotgun to a person 18 years or older.

Therefore, if the transfer is being done through a FFL dealer the person receiving the handgun needs to be 21 or older.

There is no gift exemption to Federal laws.

CA laws require firearms to be transferred through a CA FFL dealer.

Therefore...
No, you can not legally transfer your handgun to your friend who is 19 years of age.

[saudadeii]

21 years old for a handgun in CA. 18 for rifle or shotgun.

Due to Federal and CA state laws...
You can not legally transfer your handgun to your friend who is 19 years of age.
