This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

In California not sure about back in the 70s but not now at the very least. Ya have to find the dubiously sane redneck and buy it at a premium. Note if the ATF asks then ya say you found it in the desert cause if ya snitch you will become very aware of the fact that a surprising number of California Rednecks "went backpacking in Ireland" during the troubles and brought back what they learned if ya catch my drift.

In California it's more like they went backpacking with Aryan Brotherhood members.

In California that would be illegal to do now. I mean sure you can probably find a guy to do it, and he'll probably sell you meth or heroin too if you ask nicely, but it is already illegal in CA to do any of that.

Used to be.

Dude clearly got the paperwork out.

As an American, no.

No. But if you're a Californian driving to Nevada or Arizona, yes.

Nope, not for 4y, and even before that, while possible it would still have been illegal for the californian, and for the nevadan if it was a handgun.

Not in AZ either, as while it is legal to sell privately without a background check:

  1. Can I sell a firearm to an out-of-state resident?

It is illegal to sell a firearm to someone who is not a resident of Arizona without going through a licensed dealer.

They can send them to a CA dealer for you in Arizona if it's a licensed dealer. It's just marginally cheaper for stuff like bulk ammo. Especially if you're going out that way.

Sure, but that dealer in CA will background check them, and it still has to be CA legal. "Just go to NV or AZ" makes it sound like they can do that to skirt laws, but they can't.
