    Purchasing inherited handgun from friend?

    I'm looking to purchase a handgun from someone who inherited it when his father passed. Problem is the father was living in another state and the son went to pick it up. I'm not sure if any paperwork was filed but lets just say it wasn't. Would I be able to purchase this? Going through FFL of course. What would be the proper course of action to protect all parties?

      That is not a problem, that is perfectly legal to do when someone passes away if the gun was bequeathed. It is allowed by state and federal law.

      Go PPT the gun. All will be fine. If the friend is really paranoid he can file the OPLAW paperwork/online form first.

              Inheritance is often pretty casual; There Are Formalities, but ignoring them seems generally to go un-noticed. But SkyHawk has the broad strokes correct - legal under both Fed and CA laws.

              Frozen in 2015, it is falling out of date and I can no longer edit the content. But much of it is still good!
