Ca limits on toys??

[center_x]

Is there a limit on pistols/rifles a person can get a year?

[stewiegriffin]

From CA DOJ site-

Is there a limit on the number of handguns that I can own or purchase?

While no limitation exists for the number of handguns that you may own,you are generally limited to purchasing no more than one handgun in any 30-day period. Handgun transactions related to law enforcement, private party transfers, returns to owners, and certain other specific circumstances are exempt from the one-handgun-per-30-day limit.

(PC section 12072(a)(9))

I'm not certain about rifles, but to my knowledge, there is no restriction for long guns. Someone will respond with that info.

Your wife and pocket book are your limiting factors.

And with your positive mindset on volume, don't forget to buy a safe that's 3x the size you think you will need.

Doesn't matter what size you get...ya always end up wishing you got the bigger one.

Non-handguns are not limited. Handguns are limited to 1 per 30 days, unless you are exempt, such as C&R FFL and CA DOJ COE.

So, it is a money limit more than anything else.

Are CCW holders exempt from 1 in 30?

[kemasa]

I do not believe that a CCW exempts the 1 in 30 and the FAQ does not show it, but I would have to check further to be sure.

21. Who is exempt from the waiting period?

The most common exemptions to the 10-day wait include:

1. California law enforcement officers are exempt from the waiting period if they have a letter signed by the head of the agency or commanding officer, stating they are full time paid peace officers authorized to carry a firearm in the performance of their duties and authorizing the purchase. The dealer must retain the original letter and attach it to the DROS record.
2. Persons who have special weapons permits issued by DOJ are exempt. The dealer must retain a copy of the permit and attach it to the DROS record. Qualifying special weapons permits include:
1. Possession of Short-barreled Rifle/Shotgun, (PC Section 12095);
2. Possession or Sales of Machine Guns (PC Section 12230, 12250); and
3. Possession of Destructive Device (PC Section 12305).
3. Persons who have a curio and relic collector's license issued by the BATF and who have a valid COE issued by the DOJ are exempt from the waiting period only when purchasing curio and relic firearms. The dealer must retain a copy of the FFL collector's license and the COE.
4. Dealers transferring a handgun from inventory to their personal collection are exempt from the waiting period but are still required to submit DROS records for each handgun transferred. There are no DROS submission or waiting period requirement for dealers transferring long guns to themselves for personal use. The BATF's acquisition/disposition log requirements still apply.

(PC section 12078)

Thanks all!

Actually if you wife bought handguns also, then you could get 2 handguns per 30 days!

I am assuming that the 1-in-30 rule is only applying to new purchases? I thought PPT's were pretty much unlimited?

And +1 on the safe, I would up buying a second one!!

PPTs are exempt from the 1 in 30, but dealer transfers, even for used firearms are limited, unless it is done as a PPT, such as a consignment can be done.

2 in 30

I have a C&R 03 (FFL) and just started using it, got carried away and bought
2 handguns from gunbroker .com. Now i find out you can only buy one gun in a thirty day period. Havent recieved my guns yet but they are paid for.

but i should be ok due to the fact they are from a private party correct?

Not an expert, but since you bought through gunbroker and they are being shipped to a FFL to complete the transfer (I assume, because I believe this is how it has to be done legally for a handgun), these are not considered a PPT transfer, it's still a dealers transfer, even though you bought them through a private party, a dealer can do one DROS and hold the other gun till he can start the second transfer, 30, 24 hours periods since the first one was started.

If you have a C&R and a COE, that exempts you from the 1 in 30, but just a C&R does not.

When you say you haven't received them? do you mean your receiving FFL hasn't received them yet, have you talked to your accepting dealer?

My apologies if I'm worn or missing something?
