    yes, the FFL checks the gun to see its been recorded as stolen, not who owns it.

    I own guns that are not registered, purchased at gun shows long before DROS when you walked in, paid for it and walked out, no record of who owns it.

          If she legally owns it, has permission to sell it and it is not specifically named / mentioned in a will or trust ref what should happen to it upon the death of the owner, I don't know why she couldn't.

          Maybe a FFL can chime in and confirm.

              California is a community property state. If the gun was bought during marriage with community funds, it's lawfully half yours as well.

                I just sold my wife's Shield to my brother in Oregon. FFl there wanted something from me that showed permission from my wife. Included signed statement from her + copy of CDL.

                    What does a receiving FFL usually request when shipping a firearm for sale?

                      SORRY, but incorrect. A FFL has nothing to do with running firearms for stolen property.

                      That is done by the Ca-DOJ when the DROS is filed. By checking the Ca AFS, and the FED NCIC databases.

                      FFLs have absolutely no means of accessing the data bases that hold the stolen firearm information. Those data bases are only accessible to LEA.

                      Nor do they have access to the registered owner data bases that exist in some states.

                        Copy of a PHOTO ID, such as DL, or state ID card.

                          She signed a form with the serial number of the gun on it (a copy of the "No Longer In Possession Of Firearm").
