Shipping question

[academy]

I have a friend currently living in the People's Republic of California, and he's decided he wants to exercise his rights. His father has some long guns, 2 rifles and 2 shotguns, in storage at a family member's house in Oregon, and my friend was asking me about the best way to get them to Southern California without having to make a road trip. Would the family member still have to ship to an FFL, even though no real change of ownership is taking place? Could she just ship them under his name for the entire process and bypass the FFL?

Any suggestions would be helpful...

By federal law the father cannot give/transfer the guns to the daughter if they are residents of different states.

He certainly can ship them to himself, but someone else may not, and if he ships them to himself, care of her, she may not open the package.

If they are both residents of CA, then once they are in-hand, transferring them becomes a matter of CA law.

I believe CA law excludes transfers from parents/grandparents to offspring (may include all relatives). No dealer or paperwork required to transfer.

I think this really hinges on where the father resides, and where he is now. If he resides in CA, that could be a simple transfer (through FFL or not, I'm not certain) but he'll still need to head up to OR to get them, or to pack them up to ship (to himself back in CA).

If he's a resident of OR, then he'll need to go through an FFL anyway, so he might as well just have them shipped directly to the daughter's local FFL.
