Bring my dads guns in from Oregon

[ferrarifly]

My dad lives in Oregon and he doesn't want a couple handguns that he wants to give me. Do I need to transfer them into my name when he brings them down?

You need to complete the transfer through a California licensed dealer.

Just to clarify the question. Do I need to register them? Dad is telling me that he didnt have to register them when he bought them in oregon and so these guns arent registered and can i bring them down across state line. I dont want to get in any kind of trouble.

When you go to do the transfer through the California dealer the handguns will get registered to you through the DROS process.

I was told the DROS system does not accept out of state Identification

Many Father / sons have walked into FFL dealers to do a transfer and were chased away

In order to comply with Federal laws, the firearms must be transferred (4473/DROS/10 day wait) to you through a CA FFL dealer.

During DROS, all the handguns get registered to you.

A transfer from an out of state resident can't be processed as a PPT because the DROS software requires both parties in a PPT to have a California ID. The transfer has to be processed as a regular dealer transfer. That means FFLs aren't required by law to do them, so some refuse. And with off-roster handguns, most California FFLs don't understand how to process out of state "family" transfers as exempt from the roster.

You should discuss this with your local FFL. And you will find out about the fees.

But the bottom line is that in order to comply with federal law the transfer must be done through a California FFL.

Have him mail the gun can't do both because the 1 in 30 rule, but it is roster exempt, he needs to mail it to an ffl that knows how to do and is willing to a interstate intra familal transfer, a lot won't accept a transfer from a person so have him have his local ffl ship it to the ffl in califonia with a note saying that it is a gift and he is giving it to you along with his name and make model and s# barrel lengths and all that ,pays the fees ,wait 10 days and get yourself the gun, then wait another 30 for the next gun
