Question about shipping ppt

[Venom_8]

I want to purchase a gun from a private party in sacramento and I'm in orange county. How would shipping work and what are the fees to transfer. Is there any gun shop in orange county that can help me with this? I appreciate all the help

If your shipping from one FFL to another, it is not a PPT.

A PPT is the seller and buyer meeting FTF for the transfer.

You might want to check with the FFL in OC that you plan on going thru.

Thanks. Do you know about how much a ffl would charge to receive a gun and do the paperworks?

[Dingoguns]

The number that various dealers charge to accept and run a transfer can vary widely. I've seen them anywhere from $35-$200!

Don't be afraid to shop around to make sure that you get a good deal. In fact, I'm sure the folks around here could point you towards a fairly priced, competent FFL in your area if you ask.

Also, isn't there an issue here if it is an off roster handgun?

If it is not on the certified list, then it has to be done as a PPT or it can not be transferred unless the buyer is exempt.

On another note, there is no requirement that the shipper/sender of the firearm be an FFL (Item #2 on the CA DOJ CFLC FAQ). Individuals are allowed to ship directly to FFLs for a sale (obviously not a PPT).

This also opens up some interesting space because:

1. Individuals (persons who are NOT an FFL) can send non-roster guns to a CA FFL (e.g., SSE). Many FFLs do not know this.
2. FFLs will generally only ship rostered guns (not including the LEO or other exceptions)
3. Many FFLs (especially outside CA) will not ship non-rostered guns to a CA FFL for the purposes of SSE.

CA has FFLs confused and apparently afraid/intimidated. If the transaction is legal, what's the problem? Very loose interpretation of CFLC guidelines and fear of losing their license keeps things...blurry...

This is somewhat true. While the law allows for non-FFLs to ship a firearm to a FFL, it is the choice of the FFL as to whether they choose to allow this or not.

This also opens up some interesting space because:
[*]Individuals (persons who are NOT an FFL) can send non-roster guns to a CA FFL (e.g., SSE). Many FFLs do not know this.

Or the FFL chooses not to deal with it, it is their option, which many customers might not know.

[*]FFLs will generally only ship rostered guns (not including the LEO or other exceptions)[*]Many FFLs (especially outside CA) will not ship non-rostered guns to a CA FFL for the purposes of SSE.

That is their choice. Nothing requires them to do otherwise.

There are many reasons why the FFL might choose to not do something and it has nothing to do with being confused or afraid/intimidated.

Please show any proof that anyone is trying to say otherwise. The CA DOJ does not like the SSE, which is a different issue. There is also the issue of doing the conversion with regards to the Feds, who have no issue with it being done, it just has to be done correctly and that is a bit unclear in some cases.
