Can I legally buy a stripped AR lower in California?

Is it legal for an out-of-state dealer to ship one to my local FFL dealer?

Thanks.

It's up in the air right now with the recent CSC decision on Roberti-Roos.  I doubt that you will find a dealer willing to risk it.

The question is being asked to the DOJ about the CAV-15, and then Fulton has receivers.

Problem is how DOJ interprets the recent SC decision.  Their intrepretations are typically against gun owners.

It's always easiest to tell people no. Lawmakers/lawyers are as guilty of this as any other group, unfortunately. The more laws these guys pass, the busier it makes them look, no matter how misguided the resultant regulation is. [}:(]

I'll a fresh cup of coffee the DoJ waffles or says "No" to any question about the legality of any specific make or model.  They tend to err on the side of not telling you something is legal when they aren't sure.  Any answer you get from them will be equivocal at best.

The Legislature has now tried twice and failed to ban what they really want to ban, which is scary looking guns.  The DoJ people aren't stupid.  They understand the Legislature's intent and they understand the SCOCR decision.  They know damn well it's now legal for people to buy certain items, but they're caught in the middle and really CAN'T tell you it's OK to do something they know the Legislature doesn't want you doing.

The provisional state government of the Occupied California Republic has put itself in an endless loop, an unwinnable game of catch-up with gun manufacturers.  Right now the only way they can stop people from legally acquiring complete, functional ARs is to STOP listing new models.

I have an FFL in the Los Angeles area who is very eager to get some stripped lowers.
He has already contected the DOJ, and they told him they would be sending out a letter
soon to all the states FFL's regarding the
Supreme Court case.

Sparhawk, did the FFL drop any hints as to what DOJ said? Or is he stuck waiting for the mail from Sacramento!
