California shipping

[tharpo]

Not really a lot of red tape. Just like most other states it is 100% legal to ship a C&R handgun to an 01 FFL in California. If the shipper is not an 01 than no CFLC license check is necessary.

We in California lose out on perfectly legal purchases

Well I am in California and stand to lose out. If I do I would look elsewhere.

However I entirely understand an FFL wishing to refuse business with California.
If you give into this extra and arbitrary demand beyond that of any other state, what is next?
What will be the next state to step up and add some extra restrictions on people outside of their state that wish to do business?
Will California upgrade its policy in the future to include more?

When you play along with new arbitrary rules, it gives the green light to everyone else to make new rules as well.
Over time that means the piling on of additional rules.
Instead of remaining a simple process it gets more complicated as each state becomes different and it is no longer uniform federal requirements.
What would you do if every state had its own special arbitrary requirement to ship firearms to an FFL in it? Some more difficult than the other?
Requirements that each state altered every so many years?

It of course would interfere with interstate commerce, and be a royal headache.

Shipping to California requires very little effort. ...

What really chaps my hide is all of those who feel that they are teaching the California legislature a stern lesson by refusing to ship to CA. Those in the CA legislature voting for more gun control are pleased as punch to hear that they have slowed down the trade in legal firearms. Or they don't care either way and are just happy to ride anti-gun sentiment to re-election.

The only ones being punished are the firearms owners and potential customers who of course already hate California gun law and vote against it at every opportunity.

California Gun Control wins a victory every time someone refuses to ship firearms to California.
