CA ID requirment

[Dirtbiker]

I have a young man interested in one of my C&R rifles but he is in the military and does not have a Ca ID. He is stationed in Ca but a resident of AZ. What do or can I do?

I'm assuming this is about me.. I am not a CA resident, I'm an AZ resident stationed here in CA. Sorry for the confusion. Maybe that will make it easier and make me automatically not eligable.

I'd like to find out either way. For future reference.

As long as he has proof that he is stationed here. When I was active duty I was a resident of WI I just had to show a current copy of my orders that said I was stationed in San Diego along with my Wisconsin Drivers License and that was good enough.

Active duty military stationed in California are California residents for the purpose of purchasing firearms. All he needs is a copy of his orders assigning him to California and his military ID card for identification.

Dirtbiker,

If you are a C&R FFL then you can sell C&R rifles and shotguns to folks from out of state. You just need to follow a few rules to comply with both Federal and California law...

- the firearm must be a C&R rifle or shotgun (Federal)
- the out of state buyer must come to your licensed premises for the transfer (Federal)
- the sale must follow the rules of California and of the buyers State (Federal)
- the firearm must be over 50 years old (California)

As was already mentioned by everybody, your current buyer is considered a California resident for firearms buying purposes because of his military orders. But you could also sell it to him if he was not in the military, as long as you follow the above rules.

and a licensed collector may sell or deliver a rifle or shotgun which is a curio or relic, to a nonlicensed resident of a State other than the State in which the licensee's place of business is located if the purchaser meets with the licensee in person at the licensee's premises to accomplish the transfer, sale and delivery of the rifle or shotgun and the sale, delivery and receipt fully comply with the legal conditions of sale in both such States.
