need help

[drptpgt]

Hey guys,

Need some info if any of you guys know. My brother live in Vancouver, WA and he wants to buy my AR10. Can I just bring the rifle to him when I visit and do the transfer there? Or does he have to come down to CA and do the transfer here. I can't find any info on WA gun laws website.

Thanks in advance,
Joey

You can not sell to your brother in CA except through a dealer.
If your father or mother is alive, you can give it to them and they can then give it to your brother.
Transferring up-down the bloodline is protected federally, but ACROSS the bloodline is not.

Wa state laws might be quite different.
In some states, two residents can just sell to each other without dealer involvement.
You would likely need to be a washington resident to do that though.
Same thing in CA.
Your brother would need to show Ca residency to purchase from you through a dealer.
What you CAN do is have your brother find an FFL near hin to receive the gun.
Then you can ship it to the FFL and have him transfer it to your brother per the Wa state laws.

ALL of this assumes your AR-10 is NOT an assault weapon in CA.
Assault Weapons have all different rules...

Per CA laws, am I allowed to sell to someone in a different state?

CA does not matter. The 'other state' and Federal laws do.

Feds say interstate transfer goes through an FFL in the state of residence of the buyer/transferee. (Strictly speaking, it's that narrow for handguns, but let's go with that for long guns, too.)

If the gun is OK in the 'other state', and 'other state' laws are followed, after the minimum of 'use an FFL' for Feds, it's then up to the FFL and his business practices.

Transfers up and down the blood line are exempt from California's dealer transfer requirement. They are not exempt from Federal dealer transfer requirements. If a parent and child are residents of different States then the transfer has to go through an FFL.

Thanks for all the info guys. I'll just delivery the rifle to him up in Vancouver, WA. And go thru an FFL.
