New rule that C&R rifles must be DROSed on dealer sales

[nambu1810]

Any one know about a ruling that the state says won't be posted to April, but is in effect now requiring C&R rifles sold by a dealer to a C&R, with a COE, must go through a local dealer with a DROS? No more direct sale from licensed dealer to C&R with COE that is not physically in the store is my understanding.

No. Did you hear that at a local gun store?

That's not a new rule.

Any firearm sold by a dealer must go through DROS (ETA: not 4473, if done right)

C&R + COE allows the holder to sell/swap C&R guns with other C&R holders, PC 27966

27966.

Commencing January 1, 2014, if all of the following requirements are satisfied, Section 27545 shall not apply to the sale, loan, or transfer of a firearm:

(a) The sale, loan, or transfer is infrequent, as defined in Section 16730.

(b) The firearm is not a handgun.

(c) The firearm is a curio or relic, as defined in Section 478.11 of Title 27 of the Code of Federal Regulations, or its successor.

(d) The person receiving the firearm has a current certificate of eligibility issued pursuant to Section 26710.

(e) The person receiving the firearm is licensed as a collector pursuant to Chapter 44 of Title 18 of the United States Code and the regulations issued thereto.

(f) Within 30 days of taking possession of the firearm, the person to whom it is transferred shall forward by prepaid mail, or deliver in person to the Department of Justice, a report that includes information concerning the individual taking possession of the firearm, how title was obtained and from whom, and a description of the firearm in question. The report forms that individuals complete pursuant to this section shall be provided to them by the department.

(27545 is 'must use a licensed dealer')

And of course C&R allows the holder to go out of state to buy C&R guns, politely reporting those brought back to CA on the proper form.

The other direction - C&R licensee to a dealer (selling-type FFL) - does not need another FFL

26585. Section 26500 does not apply to the delivery of an unloaded firearm that is a curio or relic, as defined in Section 478.11 of Title 27 of the Code of Federal Regulations, if the delivery satisfies all of the following conditions:

(a) It is made by a person licensed as a collector pursuant to Chapter 44 (commencing with Section 921) of Title 18 of the United States Code and the regulations issued pursuant thereto.

(b) It is made by a person with a current certificate of eligibility issued pursuant to Section 26710.

(c) It is made to a dealer.

Looks like someone over at DOJ is spreading this FUD. From another thread in this forum...

Well I called DOJ, and they said that it is NOT legal to ship from an 01 or similar, to a C&R / COE holder, as of 1/1/15. They said that there is a lack of knowledge on this online, because they have not posted the law on the DOJ website, but that they are planning on getting the new 2015 regulations up by April....go figure....

Is DOJ trying to put together another underground reg like the 1 in 30 for new handguns with C&R/COE?
