CA FFL Look up?

[ugimports]

Like I said if it's from his personal collection there's no reason not to do a PPT. I've bought a gun from the personal collection of an FFL holder. He did the PPT himself and was nice enough to only charge me the $25 background check fee and not the $10 FFL profit for doing a PPT.

This guy has refused to do a PPT. Making it seem like it's not a personal gun but a business gun. And the fact that he won't respond to any more questions from me also makes me think that this is a business gun and that he knows that he doesn't want to answer questions about holding an FFL.

I read the bold as "Do a PPT at his location" vs do a PPT at some other location.. hence my confusion with what you were saying..

Why would I drive all the way out there when Ryenex in Chino Hills will do it for $25?



But in all seriousness, the part that I don't like is the lack of being upfront with why he's doing what he's doing. The other part is the transfer fee.



If he would do the transfer(if he could) then it would only cost $25. If it was in his personal collection then there's no reason not to do a PPT which would only cost $35. He says that it has to be shipped = extra cost. Shipping it to my LGS means not a PPT = extra cost($25 @ Ryenex)



I would rather not have to pay all of these extra fees for no reason.

You would also need a letter stating that it is a private sale, an occasional sale and not from a business to not have to pay sales tax. Otherwise it is assumed to be subject to sales tax.

It would be interesting to see how he transferred it to the other dealer, would it be claimed to come from him personally or would it be from his business. His bound book would explain things, but that would take the BATF.

Could be that the seller on GB just doesn't feel like dealing with the PPT process. Maybe for him its just easier to ship to an FFL rather than driving to meet up someplace and deal with that process. Or, maybe he has already PPT'd quite a few this year and doesn't want to flirt with the line of doing too many PPT transactions.

Yes, it could be, but it also could be other things, such as the seller doesn't feel like dealing with getting all the proper licenses/permits. Could be nothing, could be something.

Would you prefer to ship something or just drive it there and do a PPT?

Personally, unless the buyer was coming here to do the PPT, I probably would NOT want to go elsewhere to do it, and would just ship the darn thing. I cant imagine standing around a Turners or Bass Pro or whatever for 2 hours while we wait to do a damn PPT that I can do in 15 minutes. I've sold 2 or 3 personal guns here on calguns and always say I'll do the PPT here and waive the $10 extra cost if we do it here. I've also met a buyer at a cousin store of ours and basically did the PPT myself there too. I would hate to do the whole waiting bit.

And I asked him if he was an FFL dealer and could do the transfer. I would have no problem driving to his place. I've asked him twice if will do the transfer and he won't respond.
