Thank you Roofuss, for doing the wrong thing, are you voting for Obama?`I'm another resident of CA. Since i presume you don't have a FFL, you didn't NEED A LETTER OR NUMBER FROM THE DOJ.You could have just shipped to any FFL in CA without any problems.

This argument is now getting interesting. ANYONE AND I MEAN ANYONE, can chip a modern weapon that you have sold to another individual in another state simply by taking it and boxing it up, wrapping it very carefully and mailing it at your local Post Office. The U. S. Post Office takes care with insured packages, and you, as an individual can ship out of state to a FFL dealer for a transfer. I can't believe how difficult some folks make this simple transaction. Believe it or not you can LEGALY transfer MACHINE GUNS the same way. Some guys I know make two shipments, one with the breech block or firing pin pulled out of the complete gun minus that part, and then later in the week the rest of it goes. Most states including Californai we can still own a real honest to god machine gun.  You just have to jump through enough hoops to get your credentials to purchase it.
So, anyone not wanting to ship firearms into Calif is just cutting there own nose off, you have just eliminated a very large portion of your buying public, you know, the folks that may want to buy your product, or maybee we don't want it, I heard it may have WORMS!
