How to identify gun owner

[JDay]

If you search Calguns there is a form you can send to the ATF to get a list of the guns "registered."

There's a form to send to the CA DOJ. The ATF doesn't have a firearms registration database for anything except NFA firearms.

Contact Local PD and have them run the SN

Unlike the good old days, due to stalking/harassment issues cops need a reason for accessing the system now.

Is there a fee to DOJ for getting this form request? Didn't see one, except for the notary, thanks

I did this a few years back and do not recall having to send money along with the form.

She purchased and DROS'ed her own, and I did the same for mine. We have agreed to keep our own purchases, but we cannot recall who bought 2 of the guns in our collection. Just trying to figure out the lawful owner so we can keep our respective property.

Both of you are the lawful owners...

Rock paper Scissors ?

Having been through a divorce myself recently, I can tell you that it does not matter what gun was registered to who, any more than it matters what car is registered to who, or what house is registered to who. All that matters is what guns were bought before the marriage (original owner keeps them), and which ones were bought during the marriage (community property, must either be split evenly, or the party who takes more must reimburse the other for the difference).

I do realize that you probably want to make sure that any guns she gets in the division of assets get registered to her if they aren't already, and vice versa. You don't keep your receipts? You did say the 2 guns in question were your most recent purchases...

Me and other members still have this done by local pd before doing a ppt. It's even been posted in the FFL area on CG. Even asked other pd about this and they said it isn't a issue. Doesn't hurt to check with your local pd
