Family transfers

[MissiontoMars]

Looking for a quick reference on family PPT transfers. I think I'm aware of

Parent to Child
Spouse to spouse

How about a transfer to my mother-in-law? Looked up a few sources and didn't see that relationship covered?

Is it just FSC for her, and the $19 DOJ fee?

Different for handgun vs. long gun?

Their family is clean, record-wise as Stepfather-in-law has to maintain security clearance.

If it's too much of a grey area, I might just take her shopping/renting to find her own Consignment/new piece, though I think she'd rather avoid the DROS process.

I believe your wife to her mother ok not you. You to your in laws, regular ppt $47.19.

For intra-familial transfers, in-law and step-relations do not qualify as immediate family members.

Up or down good. Can't go across and no steps.
Father / Mother
Grandfather / Grandmother
Son / Daughter
Grandson / Granddaughter

Nor do siblings.

What is the time frame or response from DOJ on IFTs? Do they send documents when approved? Sent in my docs months ago with no reply. Experienced advice appreciated.

You need a FFL familier with Intrafamily Transfer. Get them a gift letter on who is transferring to and from and items. Your family member ships items to FFL. Fed ex is no longer shipping guns from private individuals so you'll need to use UPS and they only ship guns overnight so there is a added cost for that. Then your FFL just does your 4473 and 10 day wait period. You don't contact the DOJ on Intrafamily.

Other people already answered the question in this thread...

Why did you comment on it? The answer was already there.

CA DOJ BOF will send an acknowledgement letter after they are done processing the paperwork. This can be 4-64 weeks after they cash in the payment for the paperwork.

Due to "COVID related staffing issues", response time seems to be around 6-14 months.

I asked my ffl, he told me to print the form and send it in. I found the form, followed the instructions, wrote the check, and sent it in.

If your parent is a CA resident, then this transfer was exempt from needing to be done through a CA FFL dealer and reporting the transfer to CA DOJ BOF via Report of Intra-Familial Firearm Transaction was legally required within 30 days of taking possession of the firearm.

If your parent is a non-resident of CA, then this transfer was not exempt from needing to be done through a CA FFL dealer and reporting the transfer to CA DOJ BOF via Report of Intra-Familial Firearm Transaction simply documents that multiple Federal felonies occurred, making it easier for the Feds to prosecute this illegal transfer.

Since 1968, Federal laws have prohibited the transfer of firearms between residents of different States unless a FFL is utilized. Failure to utilize a FFL equates to a Federal felony for everyone involved with the transfer.
There is no intra-familial or gift exemption to the Federal laws. There is a bequeath exemption, but it requires the transferor to be deceased and the transferee to be named in the transferor's will as the recipient of the firearm(s).

OP apparently is unaware of the CGF wiki walkthru on the subject of familial transfers:
