List of CA FFLs & their fee schedule

[liemmn]

Sportmans warehouse in Rocklin is now $100 + DROS fee.

Need to identify those who are charging sales tax on gun transfers.

Kevin Smith in Martinez is charging sales tax. What these chumps are actually doing is illegally charging you a use tax which is then never actually paid to the state in your name. It is the buyers job to pay use tax directly to the state, OR the out of state seller can register with the CA-BOE and collect on behalf of the buyer, but the FFL who is merely performing the transfer has no legal right to collect this tax.

Nice first post, too bad it is completely false. Better luck next time.

Your homework is to go to the CA BOE and look up the regulations which say that FFLs, as a CA business, are considered the retailer of the firearm when it comes from an out of state business. This makes the FFL responsible for paying the sales tax (which they can either pay it out of their pocket or get it from the customer), which is not right, but feel free to go argue with the CA BOE. In addition, the CA BOE changed their view, although not the law, in that now FFLs are told to collect sales tax on firearms coming from out of state even from private parties, unless it is a C&R and the CA buyer has a C&R FFL.

Next, please provide proof that ANY FFL is pocketing the money. The worse thing you can do is to collect sales tax and not turn it over to the state. This is far worse than not collecting/paying it.

BTW, this has been the case for decades, but many FFLs and even more customers were not aware of it.

For items other than firearms, you are correct that the buyer is responsible for paying the sales tax.

BTW, since your comments claim that the business is doing something illegal, which if false, would be consider libel and you could be sued for that. Since you claim that it is illegal to collect the sales tax (as required by law), you have a bit of a problem right there.

BOE Tax Code

Nice reply Kemasa. I have tried explaining this issue til' I'm blue in the face.

Here's a direct link to the BOE tax code section (which I have posted in several over posts - Maybe we can get the forum moderators to make this info sticky somewhere so its easy for the "doubtful" to find....)

There is already a sticky in the FFL Forum and it is also included in the FFL FAQ Master thread:

Note: you need to read the whole thread as things changed since the start to the last post.

It is kind of like teaching a pig to sing, but all you can do is try. Even with the information, often the response is that FFLs should fight it (rather than customers).

City Arms in Pacifica will no longer do internet transfers

[Planetking]

The Gun Range in North Highlands quoted me today - FFL Transfers $50, including DROS

[Fred C Dobbs]

I have always used Andy Cauble at Walker 47 in Anaheim for out of state purchases and FTF transfers. $50. plus Dros.
Andy is a great guy with a store front gun shop and very accommodating.

Many had been asking, so I think, maybe we can keep a list going, and we'll try to keep it updated.

By the way, for person-to-person in-store transfer, FFL is limited to $10 on top of the DROS fee. (PC section 12072(d))

I presume this list is still being updated, seeing a late-2012 update to the OP.

I may need to do a PPT of an OLL at some point in the near future, I presume that the bold-face text above means that, at most, an in-person PPT should be $35/transfer (including the DROS fee)?

Thanks!

Most of the fees listed is incorrect. I called Castro Valley Gun Shop and their fee is $150 plus $30 for DROS

[titleist686]

Some datapoints for Los Angeles
Bain Davis, San Gabriel - $110 fee + $25 DROS
Aces Pawn, West Covina - $35 fee + $25 DROS. $10 discount for Calguns members
Pacific Coast Firearms, OC - $25 fee + $25 DROS

[RunsWithGuns]

In the Palm Springs / Palm Desert area:

Second Amendment Sports / 760.200.4867 $40 / $100 If you want to transfer in a gun that they carry for sale. Private party transfers (both parties onsite) are just $10, $35 with the DROS fee and no sales tax for instate transfers.
