Am I reading this right? For C&R sells between private parties of legitimate C&R guns older than 50 years old there is no need to do a transfer through an FFL? No DROS? Walk in, pay for the gun, walk out? Seems weird for California... this is why I am double checking.
For a very narrow range of firearms, no dealer or license is required. An individual can purchase Curio or Relic long guns without using an FFL and with or without having a Curio and Relic/03 Federal License themselves.
California uses the Federal definition of C&R guns Penal Code 27965 (was 12078(t)(2))
(a) If all of the following requirements are satisfied,
Section 27545 does not apply to the sale, loan, or transfer of a
firearm:
(1) The sale, loan, or transfer is infrequent, as defined in
Section 16730.
(2) The firearm is not a handgun.
(3) The firearm is a curio or relic manufactured at least 50 years
prior to the current date but is not a replica, as defined in
Section 478.11 of Title 27 of the Code of Federal Regulations, or
its successor.
(b) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1,
2014, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted
statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2014, deletes or extends
that date.
Penal Code 27545 requires 2 non-licensed individuals to use an FFL in a Penal Code 12082 Private Party Transfer; the above is an exception to that requirement.
