Just curious about what additional charges the various states tack onto the price of a handgun.
California requires
-- a $25 DROS fee (Dealer Record Of Sale)
-- Sales Tax, varies by county LA county currently 8.25%, Kern is 7.75% I believe
In-State Private Party Sales must be handled by someone with an FFL
-- Pay the DROS
-- Sales Tax
-- FFL holder can charge a max of $10 as an xfer fee
Out-of-State Sales must be handled by someone in CA with an FFL
-- DROS
-- Sales Tax
-- The FFL holder can charge whatever they can get as an xfer fee.
California has a 10 day waiting period
Can only buy one handgun within a 30 day period
As a general comment, I don't see many of the price deals I see people talk about in many other states. In the area, where I live a few $$ off MSRP is about the best I see.
Feel free to correct or add on if I've made a mistake or left something out
