transfer through sheriff's dept

[Mcdobson]

I've been told you can do a firearms transfer through the sheriff's department instead of a FFL. Any body know if this is true? cheaper?

Re: transfer through sheriff's dept

It might be possible, I mean it is just a form for a DOJ background check. And LE are the only people who have the right to hold weapons ie store someone elses privately owned weapon (you see this in cases of domestic violance).
However, I highly doubt that a LEA is going to go through all this trouble so that a citizen can own a weapon. Just saying.

I know that Sac County won't do it.
Much of the department uses Bob Snellings (916-833-9771) for personal transfers.
Very easy to deal with.

Re: transfer through sheriff's dept

My Sheriff's Office does not do transfers. If I read the Law correctly your not registering it locally your registering it with the state. Hence the DRO's/fee's process. Local L.E. has no way of knowing what firearms you own without checking a state database.

Snellings is retired, sold his business to two guys who are keeping it going.

Local LE can't transfer firearms, they must go through a federally licensed FFL. Stupid state and Feds can't get together an people get nailed.

Pray for national reciprocity!

I'm an 03 FFL working on my 01/07.

That's good to know. Bob was great. Hope the new owners do his business justice.
Good luck on your 01/07!!
