What is cost of firearms transfer after death of parent

[sfe187]

FFL is on a fairly strict fee schedule for most transactions, including the one alluded to in the OP, not quite the same as auto repair.

Strict fee schedule - lets use PPT for example ($37.19 + $10), why do we have a new thread every week new gun owners asking why my FFL charged differently after. Same with oil change or brake jobs, the clueless you are the more they can charge. Same concept.

That's debatable. Law says $37.19 + $10 but long time a go I read on FFL forum that if the FFL has signage posted in the store stating a service fee of some sorts will be charged they can.

But in this case, in my own opinion, she walked in with zero knowledge and some how "the state" had to charge her $600? But i don't know the full story so . . .

28055.

(a) For a sale, loan, or transfer conducted pursuant to this chapter, the purchaser or transferee or person being loaned the firearm may be required by the dealer to pay a fee not to exceed ten dollars ($10) per firearm.

(b) No other fee may be charged by the dealer for a sale, loan, or transfer of a firearm conducted pursuant to this chapter, except for the applicable fees that may be charged pursuant to Sections 23690 and 28300 and Article 3 (commencing with Section 28200) of Chapter 6 and forwarded to the Department of Justice, and the fees set forth in Section 31650.

(c) The dealer may not charge any additional fees.

(d) Nothing in these provisions shall prevent a dealer from charging a smaller fee.

23690 $1 goes to "the Firearm Safety Account.", part of what we usually call DROS, as a shorthand

28233 is $31.19, part of DROS

28300 $5 goes to "Firearms Safety and Enforcement Special Fund.", part of DROS

31650 is if you need an FSC

I believe you need a safety certificate and a DOJ declaration form that you are now in possession of the firearms. The name of the form escapes me. It’s like 20 bucks.
