So I was called about this last night. Being a new FFL I for sure dont pretend to have all the answers but the short and skinny of this is:
Father, Lives in Texas bought his son, who lives in California A sig 365, an off roster hand gun.
The handgun is currently at a different FFL near me but he refuses to look into the situation and process if possible. He just wants to send the firearm back to Texas.
I did pose this question to my local DOJ contacts and im waiting on a response. I figured I would post here since there is a wealth of information and expertise here as well !! This is what I sent:
I would like some information in regards to the Interstate Intrafamilial Transfer as my father lives in Texas and purchased me a handgun as a gift. He would like to send me the gift and wants to know what he must do to send it legally. The gun is a California off-roster handgun and according to Penal Code 32110 (formally PC13132) these types of transfers are exempt and NOT subject to roster of handguns.
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
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".
again im a new FFL and for sure dont know the ins and out of all th laws, like I told the gentleman over the phone this will be a learning experience for me as well. Please advise ! Thank you
