I dunno, jOe. Some of our eastern members might weigh in, but I think they've been in this boat for decades. If a NJ or NYC owner wanted to pass on a gun to a son, I think it's a "transfer" and all the associated paperwork. They wrote the laws in CA such that they could catch 'Pachuco Pete' gangsters for an illegal weapons charge even if he said he "borrowed it from his cousin".
