    Right. Direct blood transfer is ok without FFL intrastate, not intersate. If you family lived in CA it would be ok.

      I am aware of the CMP and how they operate as well as immediate family transfers . Just as if I purchase a firearm from out of state through a private party the issue is with importing it into CA. CMP has fulfilled their obligation when you complete the paperwork and you take possession. You will still be illegally importing a firearm into CA. CMP has a exemption to be able to avoid using an FFL but I would be a little concerned as I doubt CMP will take any responsibility for what you do with it once you have it. I could be wrong. I just have not read that CMP has the ability to allow a individual to import against state law. It is one thing when you have it shipped to your house through CMP with their exemption they are the importer. I think when you import it CMP is not a part of that anymore. The transaction was complete when you took possession. I am not a lawyer and its just my .02. I have no Idea how you would be caught. I know of at least one 03 FFL still shipping to their door without a COE. If they don't register it how are they going to get caught except buy the feds with a lot of investigations. I personally don't think it is worth the chance or consequences to save a few bucks. To each his own and If you ask CMP they may be able to tell you more on the legality of it.

        It is against the law for you to purchase and take possession of a firearm from a private seller out of state. It is not against the law to purchase and take possession of a firearm out of state at the CMP stores. What section of the law prevents you from bringing a legally acquired firearm into CA. State law allowed people to do this before 01-01-2014 and the law change covers firearms brought in by 03FFLs or shipped into the state or sales in state. I did not see any change or mention of a private party bringing in a legally acquired firearm from out of state that is now their property. If you can find a section that covers this please post it. that is the purpose of this thread.
