    If you do a Private Party Transfer, then the handgun in question is not required to be on the DoJ Approved Roster. Which is a plus for you.

    A PPT in California MUST be done through a CA FFL (for a $35 fee), so that would put it "under your name" so to speak. Although there is no registry in California, there is an optional Firearm Ownership Record you can file.

    Hannah get your head out of your Astronaut.

    You would need to do it thru a FFL. Should be about 35 bucks and 10 day wait.

    You and the seller go do a licensed dealer to do the transfer.

    You would both have to go to a dealer to do a transfer.

    They're illegal in California.
