4010A question

[Jamesaaron61]

I will be moving to California next year and I had a question on the form 4010A. couod I fill it out say a week or two in advance and mail it there to get a jump start on them approving me. I know I have a clean history and am able to possess firearms. I was just curious.

Also once I'm there I can still go shooting with them while I'm waiting for approval right? It would kinda be the same as if I was visiting correct?

I've done a fair amount of research over the years in preparation for this move and now that the single shot exemption is dead I can still bring say an AK pistol correct? And are their any on roster AK or AR pistols that are sold in California?

4010a?

Cultural thing - we generally use the names of the forms, since the numbers convey no information.

I'm guessing you mean the New Resident form. There would be no real benefit - you don't have to wait for anything back, just send in the correctly completed form with the fee.

There are no AK/AR pistols on the Roster.

I'm certain you would need the magazine locking device for your AK pistol; see also the handgun flowchart - http://www.calguns.net/caawid/hgflowchart.pdf

Librarian is correct. I sent mine in back in January and have only just gotten the acknowledgement back for one of my pistols within the last two days. 2 weeks won't help you out tremendously as the DOJ will work at a snails pace regardless. Whether you decide to send it in now or when you get here is entirely up to you.

You need to input your CA DL/ID on the form.
It's useless to submit the form, without having a valid CA DL/ID (which you can't get until you move to CA and establish residency).
