As you probably know, California’s firearms laws are many and complex. They confuse so many people in and out of the state that I have discovered it is often easier to acquire C&R firearms outside of California. I also came to realize that as an FFL holder, I can legally take delivery anywhere not prohibited by state or local laws.
While I did take advantage of this fact once, it proved more expedient to license my out-of-state address. I could find nothing that prohibited this move, and neither the BATFE nor the local sheriff objected when I submitted my application with a premises address in one state and a mailing address in another. Of course, this does entail maintaining two bound books and logging firearms from one to another when I move them between states.
