interstate intrafamilial handgun transfer

[P5Ret]

Wow same question 3 different ways with the same answer's. Are you getting it yet?

[acespawnshop]

Here’s an idea. Just PM me the answer you want and I’ll copy and paste it on this thread as a reply so you will finally get the answer you want to hear.

Let me try ...

Federal law requires a transfer from a resident of one state to a resident of another state go through an FFL. If the gun is a handgun, the FFL must be in the state of residence of the buyer/receiver/transferee.

No law, Federal or CA, requires that the gun come from one FFL to another. That is sometimes a business requirement of a particular FFL.

It may turn out to be convenient and cost-efficient to use an FFL to ship the gun(s). The out of state FFL would have to register with CA CFLC program, https://oag.ca.gov/firearms/cflcoverview, and some of those out of state FFLs don't want to do that.

And, I'll merge these threads. Basically 1 question from 1 user.

im asking of a FFL here the will accept it. obvious not all FFL do. example SOLAR TACTIC in Livermore made it very clear to me that they will only accept from another FFL from AZ

To expand...since in my mind this thread has gotten a bit convoluted.
I have a customer whose son lives in another state.
Son wants to give Dad a "non-approved" handgun.

Is that possible and if so what's the process?

[edgerly779]

Son sends firearm with copy of his ID and letter stating gift to father tp ca ffl /Father gets hsc and does dros.

Will DROS accept an off roster/non-exempt handgun? I guess that's my real question.

I see one of the mods finally gave the other two threads the old yeller treatment and combined all of these.

Side note to the OP, check with the firearms dealer before you commit to sending anything to them what all their policies are. Like, will they release on an Undetermined status, whats their storage fee policy (if any) for guns left longer at their store than usual. Do they understand the process that you are trying to do. Just check up front.

Sorry...should have made it clearer that I would be the receiving dealer.

[edgerly779]

You were answered as receiving dealer. In post #54

Too many back and forths on this thread. My bad.
