Any experts re California law here?

Not at all. Where in this discussion did anyone say that?

I misunderstood your statement here.

He is correct that it would be difficult to convert a Python to a single shot firearm so that isn't a viable option

I understood (misunderstood?) that, according to that gunshop employee, an off roster gun must be subjected to the SSE thing before it can be shipped into the state. The Python can't do the SSE thing, therefore can't be shipped into the state. I thought that's what you were saying.

I don't understand the SSE thing. I guess I'll have to research it.

I don't understand how anybody other than clinically insane, dope smoking, high school dropouts could possibly have crafted a more convoluted, idiotic set of laws. They must have done so to ensure job security. Either that or they were tripping.

Urgh.

That does apply for in-state intrafamily transfer.

But interstate requires a CA FFL, and CA FFL requires DROS, and the exceptions to 1-in-30 through DROS do not include intrafamilial transfer. I suspect that was omitted because, like many parts of CA law, Federal law was not considered, and the possibility that an intrafamily transfer would have been forced through an FFL just never was anticipated.

In short, California's 1-in-30 limit on handgun transfers DOES apply to interstate intrafamilial transfer.

I'll take my post down as to not confuse anybody. That is quite the annoying set of laws.

No, that's what YOU said.

Frank explained it, clearly and succinctly. The Python cannot be converted to a single shot, but it does not NEED to be converted to a single shot. You are making this much more difficult than it really is. And stop paying attention to the idiot in that gun shop. Removing the barrel from a firearm, thus rendering it inoperable, does NOT convert it to a single shot firearm. It merely turns it into an inoperable multi-shot firearm.

Go back and re-read post number 5, section 2.b.ii. Frank spells out exactly what California law requires/allows.

The original question has been answered, and boy have we drifted.
