C&R Registration

[Rangem4]

The DOJ does make mistakes. I know of a fellow that had a firearm stolen. He had purchased it legally from a LGS and could not find his paperwork for serial number etc. needed for the police report. He had an idea to contact the DOJ, surely they had a record of the sale. Nope, no record.
Just saying.....

Didn't numbnuts just sign a bill that makes it completely illegal to bring anything in from out of state unless it goes through a dealer? Not sure when it goes into effect but I'm pretty sure that's now on the books.

Please post the law. If you cant find it, don't spread "pretty sure". This is how FUD starts.

He is speaking of AB1609 https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/f...01320140AB1609 which Brown just signed, but there is an exemption for licences collectors.

Are we supposed to hear back from the DOJ after sending registration? I sent mine in with a money order since I haven't had a checkbook in almost 10 years lol.

It often takes up to three months to get the acknowledgment letter from CalDOJ.

[watt79]

It takes a while. With the exception of the SKS I registered, all of them have taken at least two months.

I have seen two different c and r reporting forms, one for handguns that states a $19 per firearm fee and another for any c and r that just states a single $19 fee per application. Which one has the correct fee structure.

[watt79]

The original handgun reporting form (BOF4100A) was altered so it now applies to all out of state C&R purchases. It is $19 per form.

Does a CA FFL03 + COE (cash&carry) need to send in a BOF 961 for a C&R purchase from an CA FFL01 (gun store) ???

nope, because even though it was "cash&carry", the dealer still submitted a DROS on the purchases, so they are registered to you, no need to send in a second registration on them.
