Hey guys, I posted a question in a general forum but wanted to get the perspective of other FFL's. In many CA counties, now to include mine (Kern), SSE handguns are not being allowed on CCW's. Many folks are referring to a Pawn/return option as a remedy. I'm posing the question: Can an individual PPT to themselves? Yes I know, at first glance it seems fishy but I cannot find any verbiage in Penal Code that states it MUST be 2 separate individuals (only that it must be FTF and both Buyer and Seller must be CA residents). I'm viewing this like the assault weapon "re-registration" requirement...owner is simply re-registering it to themselves (except in this case in order to correct/update the sub category of the handgun; was SSE, now semi auto). Not a straw purchase since "Buyer" is truly "purchasing" it for themselves. Why could this be better than the pawn option? $35 vs $50, and in many cases our shops here in Bakersfield require a 30 day hold before they'll submit/process anything. So PPT could be cheaper and much faster, especially of the individual has multiple handguns they want to process at the same time.

it is s touchy situation i too wonder if there is some way to find a friend and sell it to him then have him sell it back or would that be a straw purchase?
a pawn return seems like the cheapest way but i dont know if i would trust a pawn shop to not lose it by accident -
It would be a straw purchase since they wouldn't be the actual buyer/transferee.
They would have a serious problem if they lost a firearm. As long as they have a good reputation, I don't think it would be something to worry about.a pawn return seems like the cheapest way but i dont know if i would trust a pawn shop to not lose it by accidentKemasa.

Perhaps OT, but what is the justification for not allowing SSE on the permit? Just that it isn't in "as manufactured" configuration?Comment
