Received this in reply to a question I wrote to California Firearms Division. Hopefully this should answer your question.
Dear Mr. ,
Your request for information has been received and reviewed. The only way to legally transfer ownership of a handgun that is not listed on the DOJ's Certified Safe Handgun Roster is to conduct a private party transfer through a federally licensed firearms dealer (FFL) in California. Private party transfer, defined as two California residents, with valid California Driver's Licenses/ID's, both physically presenting themselves before the same FFL on the same day, to conduct the transfer.
If you have any further questions or concerns please feel
free to contact our office at (916) 227-3703.
Sincerely,
Nate Barrell, Analyst
Firearms Division
So in a nutshell, if you want to buy a firearm that is ON the approved list, you can have it shipped to a FFL in California. If the firearm IS NOT on the approved list, it can only be purchased by a private party transfer where both parties must appear in person with approved California ID's...that means no out of state transfers allowed on non-approved firearms.
