Correct. Many states you can buy a gun face to face though. When I was on orders in Virginia I bought a gun in a parking lot off a lieutenant

Most won’t want to sell you anything actually, mags, ammo

Lots of places are starting to check IDs before you buy mags. Reno, LV, Phoenix

I always wondered how it goes if one owns two homes- one in AZ (or NV) and the other in CA. My guess is one (for tax purposes) must be declared as the Primary and used to file your taxes, so that would be your addy for firearm purchases as well? I recall seeing some language about "where you spend the majority of your time" as a clawback for California state taxes- but don't recall if that is for firearms, state taxes, or what.

A lot like to try the dual residency for registration etc. same for guns but can only have one primary residence. And that’s where you file your taxes registered to vote kids go to school employer have your drivers lic etc.

Funny when one I know tried this with registrations tried to say well I have a river house and I’m just bringin this here to ca to get work on. But hands a ca lic has ca addy and down the line.

The fine was hefty too. 😂

CA already passed a law to stop the dual resident exemption. Since you could legally buy in another state to import it must go thru a dealer and therefore be on the roster.

Thank you I think that pretty much brings clarification.

Most will still sell you a CA compliant gun. They'll even let you take a long gun, but they'll ship your new handgun to your FFL.
 
Just to chime in, Arizona is a free state. If your buying guns from a store/ffl your going to need a valid AZ license because a store or ffl would be held liable if they sold a firearm to a convicted felon etc.….however if there is a “azguns.net” or numerous other forums from AZ. It is perfectly legal to perform Cash and Carry for firearms. Some will ask to see a AZ ID but most won’t care. Here’s the cash, here is the firearm. Have a nice day. I have asked what you are trying to do and there is written law and there is a ton of gray area. Essentially as far as California is concerned for PPT transfers they don’t really care how or why the seller obtained or is selling the gun. There business is to make sure they know where that gun is going to end up as you have to dros it as the buyer. Also to make sure that it doesn’t turn up as stolen in the database. Im not exactly sure what Arizona stores/FFL link to the buyer, if anything. I think they just get your id run it and if your good then your good 🤷🏻‍♂️. Could you buy the gun, bring it back, have somebody then ppt it over to you 🤷🏻‍♂️. I’d have to say that’s highly illegal Corey and Trevor but can it be done 🤷🏻‍♂️. I’m no attorney and I am not giving legal advice.

Yeah but how can we tell which is the supreme?
What are you stupid you F******* taste it!
Unleaded is a little tangy, supreme is kinda sour, and Diesel tastes pretty good!
