AB 2817 California Assembly · 2017-2018 Regular Session

Firearms: emergency transfers.

Summary

Existing law requires the transfer of a firearm, including the loan of a firearm, to be conducted through a licensed dealer, except as exempted. Existing law requires a dealer processing the transfer of a firearm to, among other requirements and subject to certain exemptions, hold the firearm for a specified period of time before transfer, obtain a background check of the person receiving the firearm, and report the transfer to the Department of Justice. Existing law also requires a person purchasing or receiving a firearm to possess a firearm safety certificate or handgun safety certificate. This bill would exempt from those requirements the temporary transfer of a firearm that is voluntarily made for the purpose of preventing a suicide attempt using that firearm, as specified. The bill would make other conforming changes.
