What are the current regulations regarding sales of firearms though a third party? I no longer hunt due to health considerations and am considering selling my hunting rifles.
I'd think especially in the case of a long gun that if you bought before any records were kept that you could sell it locally and nobody would be the wiser.
I do not think it is illegal here.
Since 1991, substantially all firearms transfers are required to use a California-licensed FFL. There are no legal 'paperless' or 'face to face' handgun transfers, and as of 2014, no longer any way to sell long guns FTF.
- Unless you are exempt, there will be a 10-day wait from submitting the DROS until you may legally pick up your purchase.
- Unless you are exempt, or purchasing a handgun via Private Party Transfer, you may purchase only one handgun in 30 days.
Oh, I'm sure you are right. Though Every once in a while it'll come up that state police or ATF will do a sting, so unless you can trust the buyer, there is some risk there...Thanks for the info. I do expect that there are many illegal transfers here and in many other states among (normally) law abiding folks. My brother and I just about a year or so ago, we disposed of a collection of a deceased relative for the benefit of the widow; we did it legally through a FFL friend of mine.
