Weapon for equipment
15 Feb 2017

Posted on 02/15/2017 9:36:21 AM PST by rey

I had some one contact me from my ad on Craigslist offering me a trade, an AR 15 for a Shaver post pounder.

I thought it very odd, especially as I am in CA and transfer is illegal. Definitely steering clear.

Is he willing to meet at the local PD first to check that the serial number is not on a stolen list?

And is he willing to do a proper FFL transfer?

Counter offer with 300 back issues of “Soldier of Fortune” for the post pounder and see what he says :)

Transfer of ARs or AR type weapons is illegal in CA. You can register them in your name, but they may never be sold. If you die, the state takes and destroys. You may not inherit weapons, or at least that type.

Hey, it’s legal if you receive it through the proper channels in an FFL transaction!

Isn’t that transfer of DEFINED assault weapons? If it’s an AW, I believe you can transfer after it’s brought into compliance. If it’s already legal then you can just do the FFL thing.

Can you move out of state and take it with you?

Not in CA, I’m 99% sure. Pres assault ban may not be transferred or inherited. Not even FFL. You probably could sneak it our of state and be o, but I would be careful.

I assume you can take them out of state and sell them, via an FFL.

You are only allowed to possess this weapon in California if you are a gang banger. Illegal aliens don’t count as they do not fall under the jurisdiction of California authorities and are just trying to make a better life for themselves.
