5 transfers only?

[torquen]

I was reading about PPT and intrafamilure transfers. A number of five kept coming up before you get noticed. Please explain this and is this 5 total or 5 per year?
Thanks.

For handguns you're limited to five Transactions in a calendar year.

There is no limit to the number of handguns that you can Transfer within the calendar year, provided you fit them all within your five permitted Transactions.

Please refer to Penal Code sections 16730, 26500 and 26520.

Ok that is what I was looking for. Thank you for the information.

Has nothing to do with Uncle Sam or Aunt Bama. It's a CA thing.

Who tracks them and what are the ramifications for going over the number?

Mike,

I don't know if there is any tracking system in place. It would be easy to do from DROS records.

The ramification would be a misdemeanor criminal charge for violation of Penal Code section 26500.

Postscript - I don't believe it. I finally beat Librarian to the punch (and by less than 60 seconds)

Theoretically, DOJ can track via DROS info, and the consequence could be arrest and charged with dealing guns without a CA license. See PC 26500.

Just a few more weeks and your buddy gets 5 more transactions...

Does this same 5 rule apply for intra familure transfers?

Does this same 5 rule apply for intra familure transfers?

Yes.

Transfer a lot of guns at one time ...

Not according to PC 26505 which has this exemption in relation to PC 26500. From the PC link that Librarian posted. See underlined.

26500. (a) No person shall sell, lease, or transfer firearms unless the person has been issued a license pursuant to Article 1 (commencing with Section 26700) and Article 2 (commencing with Section 26800) of Chapter 2.


(b) Any person violating this article is guilty of a misdemeanor.


(Added by Stats. 2010, Ch. 711, Sec. 6. Effective January 1, 2011. Operative January 1, 2012, by Sec. 10 of Ch. 711.)



26505. Section 26500 does not apply to the sale, lease, or transfer of any firearm by any of the following:


(a) A person acting pursuant to operation of law.

(b) A person acting pursuant to a court order.


(c) A person acting pursuant to the Enforcement of Judgments Law (Title 9 (commencing with Section 680.010) of Part 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure).


(d) A person who liquidates a personal firearm collection to satisfy a court judgment.

A familial gift is an OPLAW transfer. And according to 26505 is exempt from 26500.

I had a widow woman liquidate her late husband's collection (20 + guns all by PPT) over a very short period of time. Nothing heard from the DOJ.
