Contender - Private Party Transfers in California
« on: March 17, 2003, 06:05:29 PM »
Guys:

Can a private party who bought a Contender over ten years ago in the state of California, sell it to another private party in CA today...provided the transaction is handled through a licensed FFL delear in CA?  The transferee has a HSC and is legally eligible to own a handgun in CA.

Contenders aren't on the "list"...and I'm getting mixed signals from all directions.

Thanks!   ...Chris    :?

Yes you should be able to transfer the firearm.  You just can't buy a new one or import any from out of state unless you have a direct blood relative give one to you.  Then it is SB15 exempt.  Hope this helps.  IronMonkey

Thanks for the help guys....that was my take on the transfer/sale, but the dealer wanted to check with the AG office to confirm.  I can understand his reluctance at first...I assumed he was up-to-speed on this issue.  He told me all was OK until I started signing papwork.  Then he got cold feet...at that point I wasn't a happy camper.  

Anyway, if it wasn't for the fact this gun was as close to NIB as it gets, it wouldn't have been worth the hassle.  I was so frustrated I almost threw in the towel. But then again, that's just what the pinkos wanted me to do wasn't it?

Thanks for the help! ...Chris   :D

This is done for you own good !! Dont you know that the contender pistols are Unsafe ?? Thompson wouldnt even submit the contender for the drop test . A single action 5 or 6 shot revolver I guess is considered idiot proof but the single action single shot is going to get somebody hurt .
(I hope you can see the Sarcasam)

The Answer is yes.  Also the dealer can sell them on consignment from his shop.
