I recently bought a shotgun using a private party transfer (PPT).
10-Day Waiting Period! ...Period!

I just spoke with a dealer about using him for a PPT on a rifle.
10-Day Waiting Period! ...Period!

Please don't shoot the messenger.

In fact, if you go to another state on a hunting trip, buy the rifle there,(instant background check and no waiting period), and go hunting, you must then have a dealer in that state ship the rifle to an FFL dealer in CA so he can do a background check and impose a 10-day waiting period (and charge you for the state fees and a handling fee) before you can take possession of your rifle in CA. You may not transport it into CA yourself!!!

Again, please don't shoot the messenger.
