    Can anyone give me some clarity on this? Xavier Becerra, the California attorney general seems to be saying that a private party can ship a firearm directly to an FFL without all the extra California paperwork.

    I just had an FFL in California tell me that is NOT the case...that it needs to start with an FFL here in Maryland.

    Anyone have any insight? Or any leads on FFL's here in Maryland that don't charge TOO much for the extra paperwork?

    It IS legal, but most CA FFLs won't do it because of liability, because they don't want the CADOJ to take their livelihood away.

    The extra paperwork an MD FFL would have to do to ship to CA is to add themselves to the California Firearms Licensee Check (CFLC) system, which is irritating, but not onerous. That’ll spit out some number apparently.

    This would turn off many FFLs, having to become registered with CA DOJ and being subject to CA laws. I would suggest to boisepaw to find another FFL in CA who is willing to accept a long gun from a private individual.

    It's not much extra work for an FFL. Takes maybe a minute once you are signed up. We ship to CA all the time.
