deceased RAW owner - how to handle?

[CALI-gula]

I agree. reading the FAQ from the CADOJ website:



Since they are essentially saying right there, the only way to keep it is to apply for a permit, it would seem that denial of that permit to anyone eligible to own a firearm would be a clear violation of the 2A.

What a great test case for Heller application in the state of CA - using this. It's a commonly owned gun, it's comparable to other guns just like it in both action, cartridge, power, etc., and the person applying for such a permit should not be blocked in obtaining it; the gun itself is registered by serial number and to person; isn't this what the state wants anyway? This fits their Gestapo schemes nicely, however, say if this were a pedestrian Mini-14, it would not. Why would they NOT allow it to be transferred to someone who has obtained a permit? What would be their reasons for not allowing it - that it can "spray bullets from the hip?".

I'm praying for the day when this stupid cali ban dies so RAW owners can pass them down to our children. That's what I'm waiting for.

that day is coming soon; plan for the best

Strip it down and keep parts, sell lower out of state, buy OLL, rebuild.

[motorhead]

first check to see if it's listed! some registered right after the ban just to be safe. if it aint it can be deregistered. if it's listed sell on gb or aa. ship to buyers ffl. (note-ftf interstate sales=gunrunning charges) that way no transfer expenses on your end, buyer pays their ffl fees.

Much cheaper to slap a new receiver and call it a day than go thru the living trust.

Yes, the stripped lower would still be a RAW. It can't be de-registered, which is why you have to turn in the serialized receiver, but you can keep all of the parts, as the lower receiver is the only regulated part.

It would be best to have a lawyer turn in the lower, you wouldn't want a transporting charge.

Bull.

If it's an unlisted Roberti Roos RAW, it can be De-Registered.

A very close friend De-Registered over 20 RAWs to sell the bare receivers. He had ~40 registered Imbel FAL receivers, he eventually sold about half of them to fund other gun purchases.

I would take it out of state and store it someplace safe for future use. Nothing prohibts possession after its crossed state lines. There are places in Nevada and Oregon that will "rent" space for firearm storage.

Why sell it when you can keep it and see/use it on vacations?

+1. I use such a service myself for things I didn't want to register and didn't want to keep at home. Someday the sun will shine on these rifles again, once we grind through the courts for a couple of years to beat morality into the law again.

[luchador768]

Why can't he try to register it? If he gets the approval through the DOJ then he can just keep it.

I don't think that in the 10 years since the ban it has ever happened. The whole point of the ban was to eliminate certain types of firearms within one lifetime. The OLL movement pretty much sank that dream though!

[krushem2000]

Save yourself the hassle just dont bring it to light again. Dont even mention it. How many guns are out there in C&R status that would end up on AW ban list if CA imposed one again? Like Bill Clinton says "Dont ask, Dont tell policy" should apply here.
