The above mentioned (underlined and bold) statement seems to nullify the Firearm Ownership Record form. If the sale/transfer must be conducted through an FFL then why/how can anyone ever use this form? But you say you have been using this form, which is great. I want to use this too. So the DoJ didn't require you to have used an FFL? They just accepted this form for your sale/transfer. Am I missing something? Please let me know as I would like to use this form to transfer a pistol from a friend and not have to go through the normal FFL process. Thanks

Volreg is useful for folks who find themselves nervous about a chain of ownership.

The general run of speculation on Calguns also suggests, without any written advice, that there are a few ambiguous situations, caused by some kind of mistake, that can be 'cured' by filing the volreg form.

Other than that, the voleg form is not required and does not relieve anyone from the duty of using an FFL for transfers, as you point out in the quote from the NLIP.

I called the DOJ the other day and they pointed me to that form to complete my transfer. I inherited a few firearms and they said I could just fill out the forms and register them to me that way. If it was a sale or non related/ inherited type of transfer then it would have to be done through a dealer.

At least thats the way they person I spoke to explained it.

Inheritance of handguns - from anyone - is covered by the OPLAW form; I have no idea why they would recommend the VOLREG. Long guns do not (yet) need to be documented on an inheritance or an intrafamilial transfer.

so they can make more money
$19 per handgun vs. $19 for all of them.

It was because I was looking to sell them. They said to sell them I would have to first register them in my name otherwise I would not have bothered

Another win for DOJ!

No, you do not need to have the guns registered before you can sell them. Lots of CA guns are not registered - perfectly legal.
