Buying from Recent Mover to Ca

[Horsewright]

Thanks in advance guys! Hey have an opportunity to buy an off roster Kimber from a guy that recent moved here to Ca. Does he need to register his guns here prior to sale? Thanks again.

No.

If he has CA ID, he may sell instead of registering - PC 27560(a)(2)

27560.
