Some members on other Calgun.com boards have been asking about the quickest way they could register an off roster pistol that had been given them long ago in what then qualified as a intra familial transfer, if they had reported their receipt within 30 days of taking possession. After several years passage they now want to get add it to a CCW, but they believe the policy of their county's IA is not to approve carrying an unregistered firearm.
Supposedly there is no fear of anyone being charged with failng to use a FFL, which would have been required due to the fialure to timely file the interfamilial report, as the period of limitations is well past. They can still file a Ownership Report, but it takes one several months and perhaps over a year for one to process and be approved. Most issuers will not accept proof of reporting ownership as proof of registration. They want to see in AFS that it is registered to the applicant.
I was wondering if Pawning the gun and retreiving it from Pawn would result in getting it registered, since it goes through DROS. If so, I wonder if it can be delivered since it is not on the roster and, I believe, FFL's may not deliver on off roster absent some exemption. Is there an exemption applicable to delivery of a firearm being held as collateral? Ownership never changed.
