[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a crime to receive a transfer.

Not a crime for someone make an occasional transfer (less than 6txns, 50firearms) per year.

That’s for a [i]legal[/i] transfer. Through an FFL, where a federal 4473 form is filled out, with a NICS check, plus any state paperwork, and the state waiting period - to a transferee who has the California gun purchaser license/card, which is similar to Maryland’s handgun purchase card.

If ALL those conditions are met, THEN it is a legal transfer.

If someone says “hey, here’s a gift gun for you” and you put your hand out and accept it, then THAT is an illegal transfer according to the letter of the law, because you took possession of it, with prior knowledge that it was being provided specifically to you. This is not the same as handling a gun in a store or a rental gun at a shooting range or using a friends gun at a shooting range. In those cases, there is no implied implication that you are receiving that specific gun to take possession of.  Newsome was informed this gun was just for him, and he took possession of it without lawful process.

Of course he won’t be charged for this, but that’s not exactly a surprise either.

But he definitely violated CA law. [/quote]
