CA DOJ CFLC Primer for out of state FFLs


While it is a bit annoying to have to get a CFLC letter in order for a FFL to ship a firearm to a CA dealer, it is free and fairly quick to get setup and generate the letter. It should take you no more than 5 minutes and then you can start annoying the anti-gun people in CA by shipping firearms to CA Dealers. As well, you know that the CA dealer has all the required permits and licenses.
