I might be moving out of state in the near future and might need to sell a bunch of stuff.

I know for ammo there is a 500 round limit per 30 days I think.

What about for handguns and lowers?
 
you're limited to less than 6 PPT transactions per year IIRC
but you could transact say like 100 guns in a single transaction if you want

i doubt anyone pays attention to the ammo thing lol
 
Okay great, of course I will do firearms transfer at an FFL but what about ammo transfers, do they need to be done at a FFL as well?

I had a friend trying to sell ammo during the Covid Panic. None of the stores was willing to do the transfer or if they were , it was between 10 and 11 am on Thursdays etc . He ended up just doing all the sales face to face and that worked out fine.
 
just sell the ammo lol... but yea I ran out of PPT's by accident by buying and not liking then selling. So when I needed my 7th one, I just had the wife do the PPT because I paperless'ly transferred it to her and I was told that was fine. I did that once a couple years ago and no issues.
 
Wait, I know there WAS a 1 gun every 30 days law that went bye bye, But are you saying there is a limit on the amount of ammo I can buy from my FFL
at any one time? Is that a thing now?

Actually cannot sell more than 50 firearms in a single year. But if someone is moving out of CA and is liquidating their entire collection, then I would hope the state would not stand in the way.

No limit to how much ammo you can buy from an FFL. Just need to do the quick background check for each purchase.
 
Somehow this switched from a private party wanting to sell ammo to buying ammo through an FFL.

Private party selling ammo is limited to 500 rounds per month by PC 30342 Text. Still have to go through an FFL.

Buying ammo, only limit is your wallet, but you have to pass the eligibility test and buy through an FFL or become one yourself (see other threads on FFL03).
 
There are FFLs like Mt McCoy Auctions ( in Simi Valley, IIRC ) that will take an entire collection ; guns, ammo, reloading stuff and sell it on GB for you.

If you are worried about the PPT limits, it's the way to go.

Always best to ignore plainly unconstitutional laws.

I know the 1 in 30 for PPTs was supposed to begin on Jan 1 but I don't think so with the court’s decision in Nguyen v. Bonta

Correct. 1 in 30 is dead even though it is supposed to start for PPTs this year. Still dead. Keep buying as many as you want at a time! The only thing slowing us down is the 11% theft.
 
On reddit in /CAguns, 420BlazeArk posted a link - TV station site, https://kesq.com/news/2024/12/17/california-braces-for-new-gun-laws-taking-effect-in-2025/

AB 1483 is a bill that would eliminate the private party transaction exemption from the prohibition on purchasing more than one firearm within a 30-day period. It was knocked down by the Supreme Court earlier in the year, but is still listed as one of the new laws going into effect in 2025. News Channel 3 reached out to the California Attorney General's Office for clarification, and received the following response Wednesday morning.


The Supreme Court has not struck down California’s law limiting firearm purchases to one firearm per every 30-day period, which is codified at Penal Code sections 27535 and 27540(f). AB 1483 amended section 27535 by extending the limitation to private-party transactions, which will go into effect in 2025. However, a federal district court enjoined the one-gun-per-month law, and the case is pending before the Ninth Circuit. The Ninth Circuit has allowed the district court’s injunction to remain in place during the appeal, enjoining enforcement of the one-gun-per-month law, but the Ninth Circuit has not yet issued a decision on the merits regarding the constitutionality of Penal Code sections 27535 and 27540(f). In the meantime, DOJ will continue to comply with the district court’s injunction and not enforce those statutes, including AB 1483’s amendments to section 27535.

They'd prefer you take ALL that scary stuff with you and sell it in another state.
