Question

living in calif

Answer 1

Move to Arizona.

Answer 2

In Kommiefornia you have to go through a 10 day waiting period for a background check for private gun sales. However, sales and transfers between immediate family members are exempt from this law. So as long as the weapons in question are not regulated there should be no problem. However I am not up to date on Kommiefornia's gun laws, you had best ask local Law Enforcement for the most accurate answer.

Answer 3

Here in Hawaii, you would have to go to the police station and apply for a permit to acquire a long gun for 25 bucks. When you get the permit in the mail a couple weeks later, you take the permit and the guns to the police station to register. The two week period is when they do a background check on you. The process is probably different in other states.

Answer 4

You don't need to pay transfer fees! Go and check out the CA DOJ's Bureau of Firearms site: http://ag.ca.gov/firearms/pubfaqs.php?PHPSESSID=1b4715d9d5e68e023aa1b10eaa142b30#20

There is a question specifically addressing your concern, I copied it below. You don't need to pay a shop or FFL holding dealer to make family exchanges.

Can I give a firearm to my adult child? Can he/she give it back to me later?
Yes, as long as the adult child receiving the firearm is not in a prohibited category [PDF 10 kb / 1 pg] and the firearm is a legal firearm to possess, the transfer of a firearm between a parent and child or a grandparent and grandchild is exempt from the dealer transfer requirement. However, if the firearm is a handgun, you must submit an Report of Operation of Law or Intra-Familial Handgun Transaction [PDF 481 kb / 2 pg] and $19 fee to the DOJ within 30 days. Assault weapons may not be transferred in this fashion. See Penal Code section 12285, subdivision (b).

(PC section 12076(c))

Answer 5

It is quite possible, depending on the gun that transfer may not be possible. Like "assault weapons". Handguns are $19.00 each. Check out the California Dept of Justice website. They have a very easy to read section on gun laws.

Answer 6

If you've no criminal record and are of age to purchase a firearm, simply make a bill of sale with serial numbers and weapon descriptions, photos wouldn't hurt. Have an original and a copy both signed and notarized.
Both parties have a copy to identify when possession changed. That protects your dad incase you go on a shooting spree.

Answer 7

don't worry about it. they may come in handy some day.

Answer 8

why transferr them.
