FFL 03 question (PC27670)

[hundy]

I was looking for clarification on getting a C&R pistol with a FFL 03. I am in the que to get a 1911 from the CMP. They are in the 23,000's now and I am 23292.
First, is a CMP 1911 considered a C&R?
If so as I read the California laws for FFL 03 on a sheet I got here on this site; according to PC27670 there is no 10 day waiting period for a C&R firearm. I searched the code and read it in its entirety and it does not specify pistol or long gun. So, once the 1911 is delivered to the FFL 01 I have listed, am I able to pick up that day or is there still a 10 day waiting period.

Thank you,

Jay

Yes, the CMP 1911 is C&R. The only way to waive the 10 day wait is to also have a CERTIFICATE OF ELIGIBILITY from CA DOJ. If you have both, and your chosen FFL knows how to process these transactions, you should be able to take home the gun the same day. If you only have the 03 and not the COE, expect to wait the 10 days to pick up.

You are in Rancho, I would send the gun to 2A Zone in Upland. Those guys are solid, and i’m pretty sure they know how to process 03/COE. Good luck!

What he said.

In order to qualify for the C&R exemption to the CA waiting periods (10 day and 1 in 30 day), the transferee must have a valid C&R 03-FFL and a valid COE. [PC 26970 and 27535(b)(9)]

If the transferee just has a C&R 03-FFL, then they are not exempt from the CA waiting periods.
