FFL Business Question

[NSR500]

Not sure if I'm following your question correctly, but I'll give it a shot. If the dual state resident has CA ID or CA DL, they may transact gun business in CA.... i. e. buy firearms. They would obviously have to use their CA address on their paperwork.

If you mean can a CA resident get an FFL in another state, the answer is yes. Can they then do gun business when in CA? Again, yes. If you are asking if they can sell in CA, then again the answer is yes. However, on that last point, they would have to transfer the firearm they sold to a CA FFL holder to transfer to their customer.

If this mythic dual stater had an FFL in both states, they would be in an idea position....kind of like Cold War Shooter's with stores in Texas and CA. They can buy EBRs, have them shipped to Texas, make them CA compliant and then move them into CA and make a profit on the guns.

Did any of those answer your questions?

Thank you FCA!

You hit the nail on the head with a fairly clear and concise answer to what I sought.

[FortCourageArmory]

OK, I gotta know....which was the answer you were looking for?

[NSR500]

LOL!

The answer I was looking for was answered by the 2nd and 3rd parts to your answer. I was thinking about possible additional revenue streams to help me to pay for Gas.

An FFL from another state cannot deliver firearms while at a gun show in California. All they can do is take orders and ship the firearms from their licensed premises to a California FFL. The only exception is that they may deliver C&R firearms to an FFL holder while in California.

Can you give me the section on that one? You very well might be correct, but I don't see why an out of state dealer couldn't give the firearms to the transfer dealer direct while at the gun show (not counting getting approval from the CFLC). If you post a law why, then that will be my answer.

It's written in the ATF regs.....

While, it's possible.....there are a lot of issues that the ATF will want you to meet.....

It is explained in ATF Revised Ruling 69-59. Here is a link. The ruling is on page 3 and can be misleading until you read the editor's note.
