One thing to remember too is the rules and laws change almost daily so it is nearly impossible to keep up on all of them.
Not the case if they are selling a to a C&R holder in CA or if the seller is a C&R holder or private party. That law, which is several years old, only applies to dealer to dealer transfers.
As far as C&R handguns, those must go to a dealer unless the buyer is picking it up from the out of state seller in person and it has been that way for years.
