Non roster handgun PPT question

[Paul_R]

Can I as a California resident buy a non roster handgun from another California resident and have it shipped to my FFL? I'm in norcal, he's ih socal for example. Thanks.

Edit: It's a modern single action 5 shot revolver with a 7 1/2" barrel.

1. Since the firearm is being shipped, it is not a PPT.
2. If the firearm is a handgun, then it needs to be on the Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale or be exempt from it.
3. Dimensionally compliant single-action revolvers are exempt. [PC 32100(a)]

So, in your scenario...
You can purchase the single-action revolver from SoCal and have it shipped to NorCal.
Because the single-action revolver you are buying qualifies for the single-action revolver exemption, a CA FFL dealer can transfer it to you.
But, because the firearm is being shipped, the CA FFL dealer can legally charge any amount of money to facilitate the transfer.
