Need info on community property and IFT

[ArmedCMT]

I'm not sure I'm understanding community property but the question is... when we got married, did "my" guns become "our" guns?

The IFT part... if my gun are now our guns, can my wife intra-familial transfer a shotgun to her father?

Ianal.

If California is like Idaho re: community property, anything you owned before marriage is your separate property. Same for spouse. Your property did not magically change to "community" property once you married.

DO not take important legal advice from the internet. See a lawyer.

Under California Gun law the gun is not registered to her so technically NO. Would have to transfer to her first then transfer.

HOWEVER California divorce laws are totally different.

If the gun was aquired after marriage it is generally considered community property barring any exception even if registered to one spouse. Because it may not be divisible, or wife may even be prohibited, the party keeping to community property firearm would reimburse the spouse for half the value of the firearm.

All my guns are/were gifts for this reason.
