None registered guns

[CA Hunter]

What are the procedures to sell a pistol I bought back in 1981 from a guy in the Midwest without ever registering it in California?

Fill out the new resident handgun registration form to the CADOJ, pay $19, and you're good to go.

Oh, nevermind. No need to register, new owner will have it registered when performing DROS. I've done multiple sales like that when I was a CA resident over many years.

Find a California-resident buyer; both go to the same local FFL; do a California 'Private Party Transfer'.

In 1981, there was no 'new resident' registration in California.

But using an FFL for interstate transfer has been Federal law since 1968; for a California resident, that FFL should have been in California.
