out of state Ruger Lcp question

[LUNDSC00]

I have a Ruger LCP that is not registered to me in California. It was originally bought in Nevada by my uncle and was given to me after my house was broken into a few years ago and my only gun i had at the time was taken. I have no real need for such a small pocket gun anymore,can i sell it in California through ppt? He has no interest in the gun and says i can sell it if i can.

Thanks for any help

depending on where you lived when your uncle gave it to you, it might have been a violation of federal law for him to give it to you. That said, if you own it now in CA, you can PPT it to another CA-resident.

Ok sounds good so i dont have to register in my name before i sell it? I can ppt it tomorrow and it will be good to go on my end of the paperwork?

you don't have to register it in your name before you sell it. Just do the PPT through a dealer and you should be fine.
