I know in California it is illegal to buy a new gun that is not on the California approved list. I'm looking for a legal way to get around it. I heard if it's a private party transfer the firearm doesn't need to be in the california approved handgun list. I have an uncle in Arkansas, and wondered if I can have him buy the gun for me (making it a used gun, correct?), then buy it from him and have it shipped to a FFL dealer in California where I can pick it up. Is that legal? Or does the private party need to be a California resident? The gun shouldn't be considered an assault weapon, I'm trying to get a gun called The Smoke Wagon, made by Taylor's & Co in 45LC. I just started buying firearms, but I've got a little collection now (IAC Hawk 932 12GA, Ruger P95 9mm, Stevens 200 in .308, and my newest additions are a Russian SKS and a Mosin Nagant (got the last two, $375.00 for BOTH!)) I thought it's time for me to get a, "Nice," gun to shoot at the range/ranch for a change. Anyways back on topic, just wanted to know if I can buy a gun in a private party transfer from a resident in another state. Thanks alot in advance. PS: Any info on The Smoke Wagon would be nice to. (sorry for rambling )
