Any handgun brought into CA has to be on the CA DOJ list of approved makes & models.

So here's a question, I have an "unsafe" handgun that I brought into California and I want to sell it, can I sell it to a non-Cali resident via an out of state FFL?
Need to be careful with California's "unsafe" handguns, because the owner may bring them with him, but he cannot loan them to anybody, that means nobody shoots them but himself...
I know a police officer in California that has his FFL also. He can get non-approved handguns in and essentially "wash" them in a PPT. He buys it, transfers it to himself, then sells it to the buyer with a PPT transaction. 100% legal and brilliant.
I used to work in a CA 'mom and pop' gun shop. The owner was stuck with several non-SB 15 compliant pistols when the law went into effect.I know a police officer in California that has his FFL also.

There is nothing they can do about it. It is being transferred legally. It is acquired by the FFL, then transferred to the officer on a 4473, then transferred to the non FFL at the CA dealer's place.It is not legal and is quite stupid. As an FFL he answers to the BATF, and they will not permit such antics.
The DOJ can't keep their answers straight. One day they tell me all AR15 and AK47s are banned. The next day they tell me only pre ban guns are allowed.Don't believe it? Call the kal DOJ and ask.
For an individually licensed FFL: He has to wait 1yr after acquiring the firearm in a personal inventory in order to not run a 4473 on the buyer.BATFE told him he could transfer them to his private inventory and eventually sell them in a private party transfer, but he had to hold them in his private inventory over a year.

I figured he'd have to register them; how do custom jobs like that come out with the approved list tho? Do you have to have the original manufacturer's papers on it?
The form has space to list three handguns
