Intrafamilial transfer is the label DOJ uses for an event governed by the immediate-family provisions of Penal Code section 27875. [1] The statute attaches several conditions, including infrequency, the specified relationship, age and certificate requirements, and a report within thirty days of possession. [2] Immediate family has the separate definition in section 16720; the label consequently does not encompass every relationship ordinarily described as family or remove independently applicable federal residence restrictions.
