Tac-Sol Pac-Lite for Ruger

[chsk9]

Anyone know how to get this here in California?

LEO gets it and PPT to you... best way I could figure.

Can you explain what I (and the LEO) would need to do regarding this?

[NewbieDave]

For example:

As a LEO, I can get a pistol that is not on the "Approved List". I get a FFL to order it for me, show my badge and he marks it on the DROS. So in this case, I order the Pac-Lite upper and DROS it to me. Once I have it, I do a PPT to you... the general public.

Inter-families and PPT are exempt for non-rostered handguns.

I called Tac-Sol and they said they cannot send the pac-lite to california even for LEO unless it is a department use only...? Can I PPT from a family member who lives outside of California?

[bombadillo]

Then screw Pac Sol. No reason a LEO shouldn't be able to get it here. Its like sportsmans guide and cheaper than dirt. Don't support them if they won't support us. There are others out there.

Personally I think anything a LEO can get should be available to me too!
But since we are here I'm working within the messed up laws.
Back to the OP- Anyone have info on private party transfers or inter family from another state?

Misinformation. In any case, your FFL could just order it from MidwayUSA if you had a DROS exemption for the roster. Dealer pricing on this one is $225:

To original question... go the mid-way route is a good way around TacSol's policy.

Or have your parents get it then inter-faily to you. You'll need to check... but I think inter-family is only from parents to child and the other way around.

Buy a Buckmark. Problem solved.

Hypothetically speaking....of course... could my sister (who lives in boise, ID) buy a pac-lite and PPT it to me if she comes to visit san diego?

[DKlaw]

As I understand it the inter-family transfer only works between generations: Father to Daughter, Grandmother to Grandson. transfers between siblings are specifically excluded...

can anyone quote chapter and verse on that one?

no, i would transfer it through an FFL and do the same process as buying from a calgunner.

i guess my question is: Can an Idaho resident bring a gun to California and transfer it FTF with a california resident at an FFL? Or, if my dad (Idaho resident) bought a gun in idaho, can he just give it to me when he visits San Diego?

[DKlaw]

Found it!

Just any non-relative Idaho resident, being a resident of a different state, would have to transfer it the an FFL in any case. The same would apply to your sister.

Yes, your dad could purchase it and transfer it to you as long as you registered the transfer once it got to CA. that is the inter-family exemption. You have to use an FFL but inter-family transfers are off roster so that should be no problem.

Ignore my handle. I am not a lawyer. What I write here is not legal advice

[NewbieDave]

While I'm not 100% up to date on CA law... I think that will be a NO for the Idaho resident to PPT to a CA resident. The reason is the Federal laws that impose the transfer of firearms across state-lines.

As a Idaho resident, if you transport a handgun into CA, in order for you to get it off your hands... you have to give it to a FFL, who accepts it... almost like you shipped it to him. From there, he can do the paperwork for the CA resident. BUT here's the sticky part... it isn't a PPT anymore. SO, the handgun needs to be a rostered handgun for him to DROS to a CA (non-LEO) resident.

NOW, if the Idaho resident *MOVED* into CA and became a CA resident with registered local address... and this Idaho resident also brought all his handguns over with him when he moved, and NONE of these handguns are rostered, he can PPT it to anyone that's willing to pay for it.

That's why the inter-family transfer is being used for most non-rostered handguns... the parents buy it, transport it across state-lines, go to FFL and inter-family to their child. Everyone's happy and legal.

If I read and understand everything correctly... the above should be right. BUT, a lawyer should jump in here and correct me if they see something off about it.
