PPT 2026 Laws, Rules, Restrictions

[Spdjunkie]

Hello CGN! Been some time since I have looked into this.
I have a family member, actually a few, moving back to California.
Trying to give them the best info on PPT rules.

Confusing with All the New Bills & Rules of 2026 . . .

I would appreciate it if I could get some feedback on what is proper as of now and 2026 onward.

Is PPT limited to the 3x Firearm per month rule of AB1078 coming in April 2026?

* What limits are in place of how many you can buy and how many you can sell?
- I believe selling before it was 5x PPT Transactions for 50x total per year. . . . 5x PPT with 10x firearms listed. Is this still the case?

AB1078 language around purchase limits is from a FFL dealer, not for PPT at least that's my read on it.

I think it's still 5 ppt sales per year, and I think it's a rolling 12 month period. I don't think there's any mechanism implemented in the DOJ dros process to block multiple ppt exceeding.an annual sales limit if there is one.

However flipping 50 firearms that were owned for a short period of time could get you of the DOJ radar for prosecution. From what i recall from the pasadena lieutenant Vasken Gourdikian prosecution and the leo that sold all of those 38 super pistols (don't remember the leo name) from the court cases the DOJ establishes whether the intent was to buy and then sell like a for profit business. A limit of 5 transactions or 50 total exceeded wasnt in the case filings.

e.g. Selling off your 50 gun firrarms collection you held for years and getting rid of because youre too old and sick to enjoy them is okay.
Selling off 50 firearms you received from inheritance is okay.
Acquring 50 new firearms a couple months before moving into california and reselling them as new unfired over the next year. May or may not be okay.
But if you bought some extra things because you knew you couldn't get them later because you would be in ca and we're trying them out and genuinely not liking them after trying them out is probably okay. Like you bought the 10 latest hotness ccw pistols from 2026 shotshow and sold off 9 of them and settled on the one to keep on your ca ccw I think that is okay probably.

I think it comes down to optics and whether they DOJ could make a case they like.

But I'm not a lawyer and I haven't bought or sold anything recently so this is just my opinion.
