6 sale transations per year- what about out of state sale?

I was never a fan of this line of thought. Reporting the firearm stolen would certainly generate a record that it's not in your possession. As far as I know, DOJ's Notice of No Longer in Possession form serves the purpose of de-registering a firearm in CA. If/when the firearm is recovered, it has to be registered in your name for the recovering agency to return it to you, so it creates an extra step in that scenario. Just sayin.

Actually it doesn't de-register anything. It does add another line to the record in AFS that person A reported that the firearm is no longer in his possession.

The form also requires someone to fill out the new owner's info. I don't know about anyone else but if I were an out of state buyer I surely would not want anyone to give my info to Ca DOJ. I'm willing to bet that DOJ will not process the form without it being complete.

I agree that it adds a new entry in AFS and doesn't remove any prior registration info. But for the purpose of having that firearm registered in your name, the NLIP entry negates that. My point was that reporting it stolen is enough documentation that it's not in your possession currently.
