Intra-Familial Transfer

[mrvash]

I've searched, but only came up with out of state transfers. I want to transfer some of my rifles and handguns to my father before any "ban" may be imposed upon us. He already has his own AR and handgun, but I have some firearms that he loves and that I don't want anymore.

Can someone direct me on how to this? If this is in the wrong forum, my apologies.

Thanks.

If you both are CA residents, and he has a firearms safety card or exemption like CCW, Hunting License, retired military etc - you can hand him the guns and he mails in this form with $19:

does my father have to go thru an FFL at all? He is also a CA resident.

No he does not. Son can give guns to father without using a FFL if they are both CA residents. He just needs a FSC or exemption and he needs to mail in the form and $19. The forms can also be submitted online now.
