Clarification of new 1 in 30 law?

[michaelh1951]

Could someone please help me understand the new rifle 1 in 30??

It is my understanding (please correct if wrong) that it goes into effect 1 July 2021, and applies to center fire semi auto rifles only?

Still no limit on bolt action, for example

I have the impression that face to face private party transactions are exempt and don't count toward the 1 in 30???

So in summary each person is allowed one dealer CF Semiauto application per 30 days, but still unlimited bolt-lever-rimfire-etc applications, and unlimited private party applications.

And for holders of FFL03 all these rules are off, even for non C and R guns?

Did I get this right?

Thanks!

Just to clarify:

Unlimited PPT purchases, but sales will be limited to 5 transactions per year, max. of 50 firearms per year.

[michaelh1951]

Thank you guys!!!

I guess that means they prefer massive PPT transfers since we are allowed 50 guns but only in 5 transactions per year

But with a dealer only single transfers...

Bimbos....

Just to clarify:

Unlimited PPT purchases, but sales will be limited to 5 transactions (current is just handguns) per year, max. of 50 firearms per year.

In regards to the limits on sales/transfer of ownerships, they apply to all firearms transfers.

In 2019, the laws were amended from handguns to firearms and starting 01-01-2020, the limits applied to all firearms.

Does a C&R and a COE exempt you from the 5 transactions per year? I saw someone had posted that recently, and I was not aware of that if it is correct.

No it doesn't.

Question about the 1 in 30... is that one handgun each 30-day period and one semi-auto rifle each 30-day period OR is that only one handgun or semi-auto rifle in a 30-day period?

Or in other words, does each have their own 30-day waiting period or are they lumped together?

One or the other gun, not one of each.

As posted in the thread already -

Penal Code 27535
(a) A person shall not make an application to purchase more than one handgun or semiautomatic centerfire rifle within any 30-day period.

This subdivision does not authorize a person to make an application to purchase both a handgun and semiautomatic centerfire rifle within the same 30-day period.

I don’t see any mention of receivers in the verbiage.

I know they are not affected by the 1 in 30, but is there any limitations on DROSing receivers with a rifle or pistol?

AFAIK...
If the receiver is DROS'd as a "pistol" or "pistol, receiver" or "rifle, semi-auto" or "rifle, semi-auto, receiver"; then the DROS system can reject it as a 1 in 30 day violation.
