A few years ago when I was still living in Cali a friend in another state was thinning his collection and had an early 70's Model 36 he wanted to sell. No ranges near me had any J-frames for rent, so I had never shot one, but I wanted it. Called my LGS to find out if it was legal to have it shipped to them for me, guess what, nope, not on the list. Must be considered an assault revolver with that huge capacity of 5 rounds.
For the record, I told him I'd send him the money and he should keep the gun until I got moved to Arizona and then he could send it to an FLL here, and that's what we did.
