It seems to me that when multiple people (at least one of them being a lawyer) are reading federal and state laws and can't agree on an answer, that the costs of simply driving to California and transferring the firearms via FFL has to be much cheaper than the potential risk of breaking laws you don't fully understand.

I do believe you as a private citizen can also mail a gun to an FFL, so you could mail it to an FFL in California if that worked better for you.

There would be a transfer fee, but I'd chalk it up to life experience and the cost of moving. I'd bet you could even find an FFL who would cut you a deal on a bulk transfer.
