BUT, to clarify things further, not all receiving FFLs will accept a gun from a non-FFL. It isn't against the law, it is just their personal business policy.

New handgun models that can be sold or transferred are on the "Roster". If the handgun is not specifically on the Roster you can't buy it unless (possibly) you are a LEO. Here: https://www.oag.ca.gov/firearms/certguns
You can't receive a handgun in a state where you don't reside, federal law: GCA 1968. If you move to California and bring firearms you must register them with the state and they must be CA legal: (Section 25): https://oag.ca.gov/firearms/pubfaqs#25 ALL transfers must go through the DROS system. If you are a CA resident you cannot buy any firearm, including long guns, out of state and bring it to CA. (Section 3): https://oag.ca.gov/firearms/pubfaqs#3 A couple of notes: Some long guns are specifically prohibited in CA, for example Bushmaster. The laws are so complicated and rapidly changing many dealers can't provide guidance on what is legal or not. Washington State is right behind you. Good luck... |

Just heard passed (or is about to pass) a bill making all semi auto rifles classified as "assault rifles"; is that accurate?

The FAQ you cited cites [California] Pen. code, §§ 17000, subd. (a), 27560. If you actually read that section, it says nothing about the firearms having to be California-legal, and the advisory from CalGuns to whiuch I referred in an earlier post says the opposite. The actual text of California Penal code, §§ 17000, subd. (a), 27560 is: Quote:
Handguns moved here from out of state are exempt from California's Roster of Handguns." However, any firearm that is deemed by California to be an "assault weapon" may not be brought into the state. |

It means no threaded barrel on a semi-auto. It also means not an assault weapon (e. g., an AR pattern handgun with a detachable magazine). It also means a revolver chambered to fire a shotgun shell. I'm not sure if this is a comprehensive list. And remember, no magazines holding more than ten rounds.
