unregistered AR 15 in CA
AR310
Member Posts: 3 ✭✭
I have an unregistered(not registered before 12/2000) AR15 that is not in CA it is stored in Nevada. I bought the Post ban AR in 1998 from a gun store in CA. My question can I sell it to a Nevada resident? I still live in CA but it is illegal to keep it here in CA since I did not register it before the deadline. I have read the attorney general website and I could not find anything about selling of assault rifle to out of state resident. thanks for any inputs.

A nonlicensee may transfer a firearm to a resident of his state (in compliance with state & local laws), or to a dealer in any state. There is an exception for C&R firearms, but an AR is not a C&R. Since you are unable to sell to an OT resident, you may ONLY sell to a dealer.
Check out Federal Firearms Regulations Reference Guide (ATF P5300.4).

....I never met a gun I didn't like!
I WOULD RATHER BE DUCK HUNTING.
Do I still fill out the "NOTICE OF NO LONGER IN POSSESSION FORM" with the DOJ after I sell it? Shouldn't it be understood that I don't posses it after the ban?
My question is do I/we have to go to a FFL dealer to complete the sale/transfer in the state of Nevada? Is there anybody who knows the gun law in NV? Or is this a federal law that everyone must comply? I know gun laws in NV is way much better than OT? They just keep changing the laws here in OT. I was hoping there was a loop hole with this one but it seems hopeless.
Thanks again for all your inputs.
On the other hand you are not even supposed to be in possession of this rifle in California and since it is currently sitting in Nevada it is really not under the "eyes" of the DOJ and since long guns are not registered (all the info from rrfhunter is correct-- an OUTSTANING post) I'd just sell the rifle to your buddy using the nearest FFL dealer as a middleman, even though Nevada law allows for private sales. As a firearms dealer here in California I cannot suggest that you do anything other then what is mandated by regulations, but other folks have made valid suggestions about how to rid yourself of the AR burden without the use of an FFL dealer-- you did not hear this from me! The "No longer in possession" form is designed to remove a handgun sold by you from the DOJ data base in Sacramento so that the DOJ is aware that you no longer own that particular handgun...otherwise it stays in your name forever.
