About CFLC
As of July 1, 2008, California Penal Code Section 12072(f)(1) prohibits all Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs), other than Type 03 or 06 FFLs, from shipping firearms to an FFL in California unless, prior to delivery, the FFL intending to deliver, sell or transfer the firearms obtains a verification approval number from the California Department of Justice (CADOJ) Bureau of Firearms. This includes transfers that occur at gun shows.
This made many FFL01s say forget CA. because they do not want to register in the program. It is easy and does not cost but a few minutes. It is just another verification that CA put to verify the FFL dealer has a CA business license. It does not apply to individual personnel.
There is not a law requiring a FFL to FFL shipment. Most dealers require this as house policy because they are scared of the ATF.
Also because it is a C&R this applies
Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale
Effective January 1, 2001, no handgun may be manufactured within California, imported into California for sale, lent, given, kept for sale, or offered/exposed for sale unless that handgun model has passed firing, safety, and drop tests and is certified for sale in California by the Department of Justice. Private party transfers, curio/relic handguns, certain single-action revolvers, and pawn/consignment returns are exempt from this requirement.
