My only gun is a piece of junk (9mm semi) that I got in my 20’s... don’t really want it anymore (kids in my house, hasn’t been fired in 15 years.. and not expecting the inquisition).. Anyone recommend a good place to get rid of one besides wait for one of these programs?
Take it to any gunshop.
What brand and model is it?
All firearms sales including private and gun show sales, transfers or loans, must go through a California licensed firearms dealer.
A gun shop or a want ad in the local paper would be a great place to find your gun a new home. Please avoid these gun grabs if possible.
If you would like, please post or PM me with the make and model and I will look up the current value for you in the Blue Book. Any gun shop will do this for you also.
Or, you could sell it on GunBroker.com
More info on Ca sales.
I want to sell a gun to another person, i.e., a private party transfer. Am I required to conduct the transaction through a licensed California firearms dealer?
Yes. Firearm sales must be conducted through a fully licensed California firearms dealer. Failure to do so is a violation of California law. The buyer (and seller, in the event that the; buyer is denied), must meet the normal firearm purchase and delivery requirements. “Antique firearms,” as defined in Section 921(a)(16) of Title 18 of the United States Code, and curio or relic rifles/shotguns, defined in Section 178.11 of Title 27 of the Code of Federal Regulations that are over 50 years old, are exempt from this requirement.
Firearms dealers are required to process private party transfers upon request. Firearms dealers may charge a fee not to exceed $10 per firearm for conducting a private party transfer. Example:
For a private party transfer involving one or more handguns, the total allowable fees, including the DROS, safety, and dealer transfer fees, are not to exceed $35.00 for the first handgun and $31.00 for each additional handgun involved in the same transaction.
For private party transfers involving one or more long guns, or a private party transfer involving one handgun, the total allowable fees, including the DROS, safety, and dealer transfer fees, are not to exceed $35.00. The dealer may charge an additional dealer-service fee of$10.00 per each additional firearm transferred.

Send it to me :)
I’m series; I pay the going rate for gun buy-backs around here ($50 Meijer gift card— I’ll make it Wal-Mart if you don’t have a Meijer by you).
Put it on here: http://www.gunauction.com/ . May as well get some money for it to buy a good gun and teach your kids how to respect and USE it.
“..don’t really want it anymore (kids in my house, hasn’t been fired in 15 years..”
I’m not trying to be mean, but why are you afraid of having a weapon in your house? Having a family is all the more reason to have a gun.
Just do as millions of other responsible adults do and keep it out of the kids reach. Better yet, teach them gun safety and how to properly use it.
