Help Needed “FFL that will ship to California “

[Steven C]

Thanks for looking. I am trying to purchase a rifle from a member. He is having trouble finding a FFL that will ship it to California. If anyone is a FFL dealer that ships to California, I could use your help. I think we could send it to you, then you could ship it to California. I would obviously cover all cost and fees that you would charge. I would really appreciate any help or suggestions. Thank you Steven

Much simpler all the way around for you to just fly to the seller's nearest city, pick up the rifle in person, then fly back home with it.

Illegal.

Also, the shipper does not have to be an FFL just the receiver. He can even use USPS to ship a rifle. At a shipping thread I had linked an FFL company that would generate UPS labels for you. Do a search.

None of the 15 FFL dealers that I have talked to in a 100 mile radius of me will accept any firearm that doesn’t come from a FFL. While it is legal for an individual to ship it, nobody is willing to accept it. Have I mentioned how great California is ?

Thank you for the link. I’m looking into it now as there is some extra paperwork to ship to California.

I work for an FFL that has shipped to california in the past. The juice is not worth the squeeze from the standpoint of business. If it were as simple as sending to any other FFl, it wouln't be such a big deal.

 

[Steven C]

I’m afraid that’s what I’m running into. Thanks for the info.

If you can get all the paperwork in hand and filled out, you might have better success. The last one I remember sending took the better part of a week to get through the runaround from the california FFL. I personally would not do it again for less than a hundred bucks above the shipping cost. If someone came in with *everything* already in hand and ready to go, I would be more inclined.

I am looking into the paperwork needed to make this as easy as I can. I know that there is a extra step or two involved. Thanks

I had this same issue to a buyer from CA who bought a gun from me of Gbroker. I did manage to find a CA FFL taht will accept from out of state non FFL. I may be able to find where he was. I think it was north of sacramento maybe.

I live in CA and have not run into that issue.
What part do you live in, Bay Area?

Same deal here in Dallas no FFL within 100 miles will ship a gun on behalf of an individual. And all laugh and said no to CA. The issue inside CA is almost none of the CA FFL will accept a rifle from a non FFL and no FFL will send to a CA FFL.

That would be awesome as I’m located about a hour north of Sacramento. As far as I can tell so far is that the shipping FFL has to go online and get a CFLC form. Thank you

Sent you a PM with the FFL. He is in Yuba City

Surprised other FFLs make such a big deal out of it. Have shipped some to CA. I am an FFL and the biggest thing is just getting setup in the CFLC system to get a shipment verification. Some guns aren’t legal to ship there so I just visit with the receiving dealer before proceeding. Honestly, it is rare that shipping to CA adds more than 10 minutes to the transaction.

That is what the receiving FFL’s have told me as well. As soon as you say California, That turns people away and I understand. My FFL is currently calling FFL’s in the seller’s area to see if he can help guide them through the process, if they are willing. I would gladly pay them more for their hassle. Thank you for sharing your past experience. It gives me some hope. Steven

I'm curious as to why that is illegal? Must be a California thing? Any where else as long as it is not a hand gun it doesn't matter.

Believe me, it's not. The US Constitution is a foreign document to the Marxists running (ruining) Californicate. I vote they become their own country and leave the rest of us the HELL alone and take their $32 BILLION (and counting) budget deficit with them. You know, Commiecalifornicate burned through $100 BILLION, that's BILLION dollars, in ONE year in 2022 of Covid money (US taxpayers dollars) for all their Marxist social programs. I can say this because I grew up there from the '60s through the late '80s and it's NOTHING like I remember or even can fathom now. So, let them become their own country with Fidel Newsome as dictator. Maybe his younger brother Fidel Trudeau could become his Sub Prime Minister? LOL
