When can a firearm be legally transferred to another person in California without going through a licensed dealer?

Between immediate family members with certain exemptions
At a gun show
Through a private sale
Never

The correct answer is: Between immediate family members with certain exemptions

In California, a firearm can be legally transferred to another person without going through a licensed dealer only if the transfer is between immediate family members and qualifies for certain exemptions. This means that options B and C, which involve a gun show or private sale, would require the involvement of a licensed dealer. Option D is incorrect because there are limited circumstances where a transfer without a licensed dealer is legal, such as inheritance or certain temporary transfers for hunting or target shooting. Option A is the most specific and accurate choice as it outlines the only legal scenario for transferring a firearm without a licensed dealer.
