Doing a gun transfer to California, you wont believe thir going rate for a transfer

[Cowboy2000]

Despite the costs, there are a lot of gun owners out there. Went to a range in San Diego on a weekend recently, there were absolutely no vacancies and people waiting in line for a cancellation. The only chance for a range vacancy is during work hours on a weekday. If you wanted to make a ton of money, open a gun range in CA.

With all the BS that CA dealers have to put up with, plus considering that a $100K house here would be $300K there, I completely understand why it costs so much. Just another reason to not live in that state.

Yeah, like we need another!!

Are you sure about the out of state sales tax? Sold a rather expensive shotgun to a guy in Cali and if there was out of state sales tax involved, that would add up quick. I think he was in northern Cali.

Oh, and Cali is definitely on my "wouldn't want to live there" states.

Yep, im sure about the tax, 5 different dealers told me the exact same thing. They received a letter from the DOJ, some kind of fairness tax BS...

And to think some places in OK are charging $40 and $60 for transfers too!

As screwed up as things are out there it's even worse in Illinois, our president's home state.

I have friends on another site from Illinois. And, yes, it is worse.

I know first hand of a certain gun store in del/midwest city (try to guess which one) that charged $135 for ffl transfers... more if they thought they could get away with it.

Shipping to California can be a pain. There are several States that I ship to where you must include a copy of a sales receipt so that the FFL doing the transfer can collect sales tax. If an invoice is not included they charge sales tax on the MSRP. You also have to register with California and ship the firearm with a CFLC approval letter. Then you've got to make sure the firearm is on their "allowed firearm" list and blah blah blah. I'm glad to be in Oklahoma!!!
