FFL needed for interstate, intrafamilial (mom) transfer

[Ripon_Ronin]

I live in Ripon (San Joaquin County) does anyone know of an FFL who will handle an interstate (NV to CA) transfer of off-roster pistols from a mother to a son that is near Ripon? Thank you!

Little bit far (Fremont), but check with UGI Imports.

Thank you. If I can't find something closer, I will try to use them.

They said that their system (DROS?) won't allow them to transfer off-roster guns. They were very nice, but this is just incorrect. I've spoken with a firearms attorney who does it all the time. And, the previously mentioned FFL does it as well. I just don't think they are familiar with the process.

Say what???

I seriously doubt that different FFLs have different DROS systems that allow or disallow certain types of transactions.

Personally, I second use of UG Imports who handled one of these for me.

You might check out the following info from a Calgus Wiki.(Note the comment about how to DROS at the end.)

Example of interstate intrafamilial transfer:

Suppose you live in California, and your grandparent lives in Texas. Your grandparent wants to give you a pistol as a gift.
* Since your grandparent is yet living, this transfer is not an inheritance.
* Because it is interstate, Texas to California, the pistol must go to a CA FFL - the receiver may not take possession until the transfer has occurred at the CA FFL - so
1. CALL the FFL ahead of time to see if he understands interstate intrafamilial transfer; any FFL who suggests you do not need his services for an interstate intrafamilial transfer does NOT understand it.
2. ASK about the fees; there are no regulations limiting the transfer fees on interstate transfer.
3. ASK whether the FFL will accept a shipment from a non-licensed person; that is legal, but some have a business practice to accept only from other licensed persons.
* Handguns transferred via intrafamilial transfer are NOT subject to the Roster.
* Handguns should be accompanied by a letter of gift, specifying giver's name and relationship (e.g. John Smith, Grandfather), the handgun (e.g. Glock 17 9mm pistol, serial 12345), and the receiver's name (e.g. Little Jimmy Smith).
* Since the transfer must use a CA FFL, the ordinary rules for an FFL transfer must be followed, including background check and 10-day wait. The receiver should be at least 18 years old for a long gun, 21 for a handgun; if a handgun, the receiver may have an unexpired Handgun Safety Certificate; otherwise, from 2015 forward, a Firearms Safety Certificate is required for any firearm.
* The FFL should use the DROS "Curio/Relic/Exempt" process, and add a comment "27870PC intrafamily transfer".

ARFrog:

That is exactly as it was explained to me by the attorney and it is how I understand it. I even spoke to a guy who used to work for the ATF and this is what he said as well. The lady who helped me at Barnwood Arms was and is very nice. They obviously aren't familiar with this transaction. That's fine. There are places that can do it. No harm, no foul. I do wish Barnwood would do it as they are in my backyard.
