You're selling a gun and moving to California? That's not a good idea unless you sell the gun in California. Because of the Nazi-like government in California, guns go for a premium. Either don't sell it or wait until you're there and sell it for a higher price.
Because the value of guns keep going up, they're pretty good inevestments. And if you do have to shoot a BG, better the cops confiscate the Ruger.
