Videos tagged with California Handgun Laws

Selling a firearm typically requires going through a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL). Exemptions exist for interfamilial transfers within the same state, which may involve optional documentation. However, any firearm transfer crossing state lines mandates an FFL. California's handgun roster adds complexity, limiting sales to specific models unless the firearm was legally owned in the state prior to residency. Purchasing a firearm with the intent to resell for profit can constitute engaging in the business of selling firearms, potentially triggering straw purchase laws, even for a single firearm.

Lee "The Gunny" Ermey, a respected firearms advocate, critically examines current firearm regulations, particularly concerning handgun ownership in America. He highlights how restrictive laws, such as those in California, create barriers for law-abiding citizens and questions the logic behind prolonged waiting periods and redundant paperwork for experienced gun owners.
