Purchasing from out of state friend

Good morning,
Have a friend from out of state and he wants to sell me a springfield echelon but he doesn't want to go through the paperwork here. I want to use it for my ccw training and maybe as a carry. What would I need to do to make it california legal?
 
What about just using it as a range gun? Anyway to keep it legal. I don't mind spending an extra 40-50 bucks to do the ppt. But he comes to California like 3 times a year and doesn't want to waste the time on it
 
The best way to look at it is that if you are a resident of California, you are incapable of being an adult and are legally obligated to be a child until you move to a free state. The California government is your mother, father, and non binary grandparents and will make all major and minor decisions for you because they know what’s best for you. But the weather is nice here.
 
What would I need to do to make it california legal?
You can't "make it legal". You arent Springfield Armory. Springfield Armory would need to design a CA compliant model and get it on the roster. If it were on the roster than you could just buy one from a CA dealer. Since your friend is not a resident of CA, the gun would have to be on the roster in order to be shipped into the state. If your friend was a resident of CA then you could do a PPT because PPTs are exempt from the roster. Ask your friend to move to CA.
 
OP We all have been there. I hope it didn't come across as a dog pile for asking the question.

Our laws don't make sense.
 
Our laws make perfect sense, they are designed to restrict 2A rights as much as possible.
That's only part of it. It does seem that the number of 'true believers' has been increasing over the years, but that's a side issue.

The process of passing the laws gives legislators/candidates the opportunity to 'virtue signal' to the electorate: "See, I'm Doing Something about a Problem!"

No one will really understand politics until they understand that politicians are not trying to solve our problems. They are trying to solve their own problems - of which getting elected and re-elected are number one and number two. Whatever is number three is far behind

But to legally bring it to California you need to do the paperwork to bring it in state through an ffl. I would be very careful about grey areas like that. The state has more time and money than you do. Consider how much you’d regret being on the wrong end of that just so you can be the cool guy with non compliant weapons.
