Why can't CA residents purchase firearms in AZ and NV?

Question

Why won't gun shops in Nevada and Arizona sell firearms to California residents? Is there a way around this? I have no criminal background, I am not a fugitive from justice, etc., etc. What gives?

Answer 1

because KALIFORNIA HATES YOU. their laws are completely irrational. almost any firearm that is worth getting, is illegal in kalifornia. move to arizona or nevada. the first link is the nra's gun law page, the second is the brady camaign's law page on kalifornia. the "state" got an A- from the brady bunch,who wants to remove every gun from every law abiding citizen in this nation. thankfully i live in oklahoma, which is a D- state.

Answer 2

The main reason that you can't buy a gun in AZ or NV or any other state for that matter is it is a Federal Law that you must be a residence of the State you purchase in.
Like roadhazza said you can have a dealer in another state ship to a dealer here and go through this states regulations and registrations for the firearm.

Answer 3

You can buy guns in Arizona and Nevada however you may not take possession of them. The dealer in those states will have to ship the gun you purchased (providing it's legal under Ca law) to a Federal Firearms License holder here in California where you would then do your paperwork ( DROS and Form 4473) and 10 day waiting period.

Answer 4

the undeniable fact that own loan defaults are larger in CA, NV, AZ, and FL has not something to do with ethnicity, and each thing to do with the undeniable fact that those are distinctly ideal authentic property markets. For one difficulty, housing inventory has a tendency to be tighter there do to geographic constraints; additionally they don't have iciness, so because it somewhat is a plus. on the grounds that any sort of bubble is basically an prolonged-working era the place inflated call for exceeds grant, we'd assume to locate that authentic property bubbles are extra advantageous in markets the place call for is obviously extreme and grant of course low. in case you think of it somewhat is as a results of "uneducated" Hispanic inhabitants in those states, what explains New Mexico? NM, below the management of Hispanic Democratic Governor bill Richardson, cracked down on own loan fraud in the previous the boost grew to alter into self-holding, and for this reason had almost no bubble in any respect. in actuality, i've got faith it has the backside default value interior the country. Oh yeah, and the inhabitants is predominately Hispanic; NM is the only "majority minority" state. You lose.

Answer 5

Because the fine people of California continue to elect policy-making officials like Nancy Pelosi and Diane Feinstein who want to BLAME inanimate objects like firearms for the failures of their families, communities, educational institutions and justice systems.

In the People's Republik of California (aka the PRC) , it's OK to take away your Constitutional Rights as an American as long as it's for the "common good". Not unlike Hitler's Germany or Stalin's USSR or Castro's Cuba or Mao's China........

Were I a gun dealer in any other state, I'd be afraid to sell to a Californian as well.

Answer 6

The california government says that other states aren't allowed to sell to their residents. California, Hawaii, illinois, virginia, and connecticut have diffrent laws on firearms and waiting periods that other states do not have. Its no ones fault but the people california puts in office.

Answer 7

my guess is that most if not all of the firearms that they sell are illigal to own in CA, therefore they dont want to be sued by that screwed up state if they sell you a "evil" weapon. basically you're screwed. its worth moving IMHO.
