Q:CA GunLaw-"used"vs."new"&30day lockout
 

I'm a California resident.
I recently purchased a Kimber 1911 and currently waiting out the 10 day waiting period before I can receive it.
I understand I need to wait 30 days from that purchase date before I can buy another new handgun.

Someone informed me that the 30 day lock-out only applies to new guns, not "used ones." So my questions are:

A). Is that true?
B). If true and I buy a "used" handgun do I receive the handgun at the end of this current 10 day waiting period? or is there a separate 10 day waiting period for the second gun from the time I bought it?
C). If true would it only applicable to a used purchase from one private seller to another through an FFL dealer? or would it also true of a used purchase sold by an FFL dealer (e.g. through Gunbroker.com or Gunsamerica.com)?

The answer isn't clear to me - even after going through the California Gun Laws.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

if it is true it wouldnt make any sense...


I'll post up and try to get you an answer...

"Making sense" is irrelevant when discussing CA Gun Laws, right? That's why I'm resigned to looking for "the letter of the law."

BTW - the fella who told me was one of the senior workers in a local gunshop. I suppose I could ask him - but I'm not in the neighborhood all week.

I'd appreciate it. Thx.
