Out of state with BBRAWs?

[echopapa]

Its been over 2 years since I last moved out of CA (currently a AZ resident and loving it).


Just wanted to confirm my understanding:

1) Even though I am now an out of state resident, the BBRAWs registered status is still valid? Like my registered RAW letter still valid even though I don't live at the prior CA address anymore? Not an issue if LEOs ask to see letter and see that I am an AZ resident with BBRAWs?

2) I can store BBRAWs at my parents house in CA - provided its in a secured safe that I only have access to? I'm thinking about leaving some in CA to avoid the hassle of the transport/destination restrictions.

2a) If I come back to CA visit and want to shoot with friends/family, I can still use take these BBRAWs out to shoot ?(Best to carry the RAW letters just in case?).

3) A few of the BBRAW are BB-pistols, but they have no braces. Those should be ok then for the potential/upcoming brace-SBR fiasco?

Non-BBRAW related - Storing pre-2014 featureless rifles in CA. - any issues?

Thanks in advanced.

1.
Yes, they are still considered RAW.
Moving to another State and becoming a resident of that State does not automatically deregister a RAW.

In order to deregister RAW because you became a resident of another State, requires you to voluntarily submit paperwork to have it deregistered as a RAW.
^If you did not do this, then the firearm's RAW status does not change.

2.
That is not legal in CA.
CA laws were changed/amended (effective 01-01-2020) so that "storing firearms" are considered a type of loan [PC 27883 and 27545] and a RAW can not be legally loaned to another person without the registered owner being physically present for the entire duration of the loan [PC 30660].

2a.
Yes, it is still legal to possess/use them in authorized locations [PC 30945] and it is legal to allow a non-prohibited person aged 18 or older to possess/use it while you are physically present for the entire duration that they possess it [PC 30660].

3.
Yes.

Non-BBRAW related - Storing pre-2014 featureless rifles in CA. - any issues?

CA laws were amended/changed, so that effective 01-01-2020, "storing firearms" are considered a type of loan.

Unless exempt, loans must be done through a CA FFL dealer. [PC 27545]

The storage exemption to this is conditional and requires: [PC 27883]
1. All of the firearms are registered to owner of the firearms.
2. The person storing the firearms must be a non-prohibited person aged 18 or older.
3. The firearms must be unloaded and in a locked container/safe or disabled by a firearm safety device.
4. The firearms can never leave the property they are being stored at for the duration of the storage.
5. They cannot be stored for more than 120 days.
6. There must be a written document, listing the firearms and the length of the storage, that is signed by the registered owner of the firearms and the person storing the firearms.

Appreciate the responses Quiet.

Didn't realize the storing firearms is considered a loan.
