CFARS question

[Snoopy47]

I have in hand form BOF 053 and it is notarized and accompanied by a copy of my CA DL.

Then I stumbled upon this CFARS things.

I just created a CFARS account.

I would LIKE a simple list the State has me on record for of my registered firearms. I want to see things I sold fell off.


****************
Anyway..................
Am I correct in concluding I can only UPDATE information on firearms ONE at a TIME, and that I cannot generate a compiled LIST of what I own.

I have to enter a Serial Number make model of said firearm that is already in the system for me, and then I can "update" a record in the blind. Which it looks like it might be something I'm better off doing anyway, because I have a lot of old purchases with very old addresses. No particular reason to have those not updated.

Anyway, bummer, not what I would have liked it to be (a means to manage visibility of my registrations).

Ask them to send you a report. They mail you a letter with all the firearm information that have in the system.

It's a list of firearms you dros'd. They don't fall off when you sell them.

Other reports I've requested do not show old firearms I've sold. Unless they were never on my list to begin with, but that would make a lot of things confusing, which is not unrealistic for the state to do. The DMV listed me as owning a "Yellow Ducati Honda" for a motorcycle in question I sold and the buyer racked up tickets and it was auctioned in Louisiana. It was actually (per the VIN and plate #) a Black Kawasaki (all of which I have owned at one point).

Guns I've given my dad per interfamily have also fallen off.

The AFS report is definitely not accurate. I got mine 5 or 7 years ago and it had half a dozen errors on it, including a gun I never owned and some that were similar but different serial. Clerical errors happen, especially when the records are lengthy. But anecdotally, they don't drop off when you sell them through an FFL.

The AFS system only tracks guns that were required to be registered at the time of the DROS.
You will not find long guns from before 2014 unless you also AW registered them or voluntarily registered them as those guns where not required to be registered.
All handguns transferred through dealers in CA should be on the list unless you got them proir to where the DOJ is currently at with digitizing the old paper records.
