California law prohibits the purchase of more than one handgun within any 30-day period.¹ Also, licensed firearms dealers may not deliver a handgun to anyone following notification from the California Department of Justice that the purchaser has applied to acquire another handgun within the preceding 30-day period.² These restrictions do not apply to firearm transactions between private parties, even when those transactions are processed as required through a licensed dealer.³
