I want to order a CDNN Hi-Power, but I live in CA

Thanks for posting the code. Right in the code it states,

except that this paragraph shall not apply to
(A) the transfer, transportation, or delivery of a firearm made to carry out a bequest of a firearm to, or an acquisition by intestate succession of a firearm by, a person who is permitted to acquire or possess a firearm under the laws of the State of his residence,

In other words 18 USC 922 (a)(5) gives an exemption if you are going to bequest a firearm to someone within the confines of state law. PRK law says you can do it and the Feds say you can too.

That is why it is helpful to go ahead and post the text of the law you are claiming says this or that, so we can look at it and know for sure. In this case, there was an exemption that SIOP was unaware of and Librarian just read right past.

Have gramps pick it up for you and hold onto it until he comes out again.

Gramps would have to be in a coffin. You do realize that this part of the law is referring to acquiring a firearm from someone who has died, and that "intestate" means without a will, don't you???????

By the way, SIOP was well aware of it, but didn't mention it because he knew Gramps was still alive.

SIOP is right. I had not seen the full Fed statute, but it's pretty clear.

The Feds allow bequest (an item left in a will) and intestate succession (where there is no will or where the particular item is not called out in the will).

The PRK penal code allows intestate succession or by bequest, AND sales or transfers between "immediate family" members. Immediate family means parent and child, and grandparent and grandchild.

The part after AND is the big difference between Fed and State law in this case. Bequest can be defined as a gift, but the strict legal defination is an item willed to you.

Seems like an awful lot of hoop jumping for a personto acquire a firearm. I would assume with the legal fees and other fufaraw SIOP would easily afford a trip to Texas to visit gramps and keep the gun THERE!

I am not a lawyer, but you sure make a good case for gramps having to be dead in order for it to go through by federal law. Thank you.
