I want to purchase a C&R handgun from a private party CA resident at a CA gun show. I have my 03FFL and my COE. How is this done right?

In CA...
All handguns must be transferred through a CA FFL dealer.

Therefore...
You and the seller must use a CA FFL dealer to transfer it.
There should be transfer dealers at the CA gun show. Both, you and the seller go to one and utilize their service to transfer the handgun to you.

However...
Because you have a 03-FFL & COE, you are exempt from the 10 day waiting period on C&R firearms. [PC 26970]

So...
After you do the 4473/DROS with the CA FFL dealer, you get to walk with the C&R handgun.


Penal Code 26970
(a) The waiting period described in Section 26815 does not apply to the sale, delivery, loan, or transfer of a firearm if all of the following conditions are satisfied:
(1) The firearm is a curio or relic, as defined in Section 478.11 of Title 27 of the Code of Federal Regulations, or its successor.
(2) The sale, delivery, loan, or transfer is made by a dealer.
(3) The sale, delivery, loan, or transfer is made to a person who is licensed as a collector pursuant to Chapter 44 (commencing with Section 921) of Title 18 of the United States Code and the regulations issued pursuant thereto.
(4) The licensed collector has a current certificate of eligibility issued by the Department of Justice pursuant to Section 26710.
(b) On the date that the sale, delivery, or transfer is made, the dealer delivering the firearm shall transmit to the Department of Justice an electronic or telephonic report of the transaction as is indicated in Section 28160 or 28165.

Thanks for the clarification.
Would I still have to fill out the DOJ reg form within 5 days and send in with 19$?

Just pay the $35 dollar ppt fee and it's all yours after the DROS is done. Nothing else is required.

No, that is accomplished when the firearm is DROS'd.
