Shipping to California?

[jeremyws1]

Quick question...can an individual ship a C&R eligible handgun directly to a "regular" FFL holder in CA?

See if the menu on the left of this page has that data-

Thank you, Lee. I'm tired of reading, and frankly, it's not worth taking a chance. I'm jumping on the "No Sales to CA" bandwagon.

Too bad ( no slam on you, just referring to "too bad for us"). Whether the FFL accepts from an individual or not is the FFL's choice...some do, most don't. The "required" authorized shipping number only relates to FFL's shipping into the State, non-FFL's are not required to have a shipping number.

Those of us with C&Rs do not enjoy the freedom of having C&R handguns shipped directly to us. I get to travel out of State regularly and I usually bring back more guns than I left with. Last year I brought 12 guns back into CA from all around the country, each one cash and carry on my C&R.

My next endeavor will be adding EBRs to the state base by building my own CA legal EBR.

I thought this was the case, but I did not want to risk giving out bad info.
I ship to CA all the time, but I have an FFL, so I go through the regular "get the approval letter" process.
I find it VERY interesting that CA, which MUST have more geeks than any place on earth, has a website for this that is very DIFFICULT for a non-geek to use.

I just looked at the aforementioned website and right up front is states that C&R eligible guns are exempt from the regulation.
Did I miss something or are there some CA FFL01s that refuse shipments of a C&R gun even from other FFL01 because of the lack of CA "paperwork"?

Same question only receive from a FFL03?,

Here's what the California DOJ has to say:

SB 15 EXEMPT HANDGUNS

Also exempt are single-action revolvers that have at least a five-cartridge capacity with a barrel length of not less than three inches, and that meet any of the following specifications:

Additionally, Olympic pistols listed in PC section 12132(h)(2) are exempt from the provisions of SB 15. Consequently, firearms dealers, secondhand dealers, and pawn brokers may retain curio/relic handguns and/or firearms defined as Olympic pistols in their inventories for sales to the public.
