CA Laws are so STUPID!!!!
There's an old family friend that lives in CA with a Tec 9 he wants to sell me.
Since it's an "assault weapon," he cannot find any FFL's that will ship it to my FFL.
It's maddening. He's owned the weapon since the 80's. He got is "registration" paperwork back in the 90's and yet no FFL will touch it out there.
So absolutely maddening.
Sorry, rant off.

Re: CA Laws are so STUPID!!!!
This is why knowing how to be an outlaw is so cool.
Anyone in my circle would have just shipped it by now.
(They also wouldn't be caught dead in Cali, but whatever.)

Re: CA Laws are so STUPID!!!!
While a pricy option, if you both really want to do the deal he could personally deliver it to an AZ FFL who could then transfer it to you

That was something I considered, but in his advanced years, he's having back issues and driving from the coast to AZ is not a good option for him.MarkItZero wrote: ↑July 24th, 2022, 12:48 pm While a pricy option, if you both really want to do the deal he could personally deliver it to an AZ FFL who could then transfer it to you

That's what FFL's told him to do. But I don't want to chance him getting in trouble...just in case someone happened to check the box.Suck My Glock wrote: ↑July 24th, 2022, 12:35 pm This is why knowing how to be an outlaw is so cool.

I did this once years ago but just for a handgun. Previous owner(CA resident and friend of a friend) needed to get proof of sale from a FFL to get the thing off the CA list showing him as the owner. Such a PITA I wouldn't do it again.

Re: CA Laws are so STUPID!!!!
The ironic thing is that, because KA hates Evil Assault Weapons so much, they should make it easier, not harder, to get them out of their wonderful state.

Re: CA Laws are so STUPID!!!!
They want them destroyed. If he had any kids that lived out there, he could not even leave them to them in a will. They have to be turned over to the gestapo.smithers599 wrote: ↑July 25th, 2022, 11:52 am The ironic thing is that, because KA hates Evil Assault Weapons so much, they should make it easier, not harder, to get them out of their wonderful state.

Rent a minivan, you drive, and set him up with a comfy setup in back. It is not all that long a drive as long as you avoid peak LasVegas weekend crap.Bigfoot wrote: ↑July 24th, 2022, 12:55 pmThat was something I considered, but in his advanced years, he's having back issues and driving from the coast to AZ is not a good option for him.MarkItZero wrote: ↑July 24th, 2022, 12:48 pm While a pricy option, if you both really want to do the deal he could personally deliver it to an AZ FFL who could then transfer it to you
I drove from San Diego to Tucson in around 5 hours, but I am a leadfoot and monitored CHP radio traffic.

Re: CA Laws are so STUPID!!!!
The best decision we've ever made in our adult life was escaping from that absolutely dung hole of a state. When we got here the first thing I did was remove those ridiculous bullet buttons off my rifles.
The second thing I did was join AzCDL.

Re: CA Laws are so STUPID!!!!
Why don't you just find a nearby FFL here that will receive from private party?
We have no such roster, and it shouldn't be an issue. I have one in Central Phoenix that I use,
$25 per gun.
If your friend needs a BOS, generate him one from any of the free such offers on the net.
Let him save his shipping receipt, addressed to the FFL, that he sent the gun OUT of
Kommifornia.
SCREW UPS, and have him use a FedEx 'hub', or corporate location. NOT, a franchised one,
like those inside Kinkos or MailBoxes, Etc. They won't touch firearms.

Re: CA Laws are so STUPID!!!!
I agree Kali. laws are stupid. Have you talked to any local dealers? There may be a way to get around it.
