i want to bring in allot of firearms from california.

(1/7) > >>

dark 45:
i am not sure how i should begin going about it. my father wants to get rid of his collection and give them to me. he has the handguns registered in California, also a mac 10, tec 9, colt ARs and so on registered as "assault weapons" in California. when i was living there i was looking into it and it seemed i could take the "assault weapons" as long as they did not remain in the state. and the handguns had paperwork to change the names from his to mine although i am not sure if i need to register them to me since they will be leaving the state. so since i am no longer living there my main question is how to go about bringing them here. and what i could and could not bring into the state of Nebraska, "high cap" mags, the tec 9 has the barrel extension so is threaded, the mac 10 is all standard and semi auto, there is a 22lr semi auto that uses a 100 round drum mag fed from the top, i think it was made by norinco. it has been awhile since i have seen his collection and what exactly is in it. he also wants to get rid of his ammo, we are talking allot of ammo some i am sure isn't even in production anymore, so i am more then willing to take that off his hands as well. i have looked around for a few weeks now to find anything on what is needed to do as far as Nebraska is concerned. i know i can not be in possession of more the 19 weapons at a time or something like that so it would be multiple trips and the ammo trip would be one by its self, any help would be appreciated as i just moved here a little while ago and have yet found anything along these lines.

I'm guessing the "no more than 19 weapon" thing is a California restriction?  I've never heard of such a thing.  My suggestion would be to make a bill of sale(for your Father's benefit) listing all the guns with their serial numbers.  You won't need that here in Nebraska, but it may be nice for him to have to show that they are no longer in his possession.  Other than that, just bring them on home, no AWB here, no registration of anything(except handguns if you live in Obamaha), no regulations on high-cap or drum mags of any sort.  Same goes for the ammo.  However, if any are SBR's or Full auto guns, I'm pretty sure those would need to be transferred to you via a FFL.

Honestly, your best plan of action would be to just ship all those dangerous, scary guns to me for proper disposal.  Heck, I'd even pay shipping!!  ;)

I might recommend working with an FFL to get the firearms shipped/transfered.  The rifles even those scary "assault rifles" you really should have no problems with.  You could just load them into your trunk in gun cases and drive them across the country. 

The handguns I would want some help with, you are only allowed to acquire handguns in the state you live in, I'm not certain there is an exception for handguns coming from an immediate family member.  So those may need to be shipped to a local FFL who would do the paperwork to have them transfered to you.

Since this is coming from California I doubt there are any full auto's or other class 3 firearms but if there are I would speak with Rod Androyna from Exeter Arms to make certain that I was transferring those things correctly and have all the needed Federal paperwork.

Ammunition, there are limits to how much can be shipped at a time due to safety (IE explosives on the road) issues, I doubt there is that much.  You most likely could rent a U-Haul trailer and load it up and be fine.

When my Dad gave me his guns, I called the local BATFE office to make sure it was legal. (Dad lived in Kansas). The offical I talked to said no paperwork was needed as it was a father/son transfer. What you might want to do and I wish I would have done, is get it in writing from BATFE or have them refer you to the appropriate rule that you can print off the internet. If it's still okay that could save you a bundle in transfer fees.

You may purchase (or acquire) a handgun in another state.  However, it must be shipped to a FFL in your state where you will complete the Form 4473 and take possession of it. 

Now, if your dad left Kommifornia and moved to Nebraska (both of you are Nebraska residents) ... he could simply give these firearms to you as gifts (assuming no NFA weapons) with no hassle.
