What the list says about San Diego
- Of these, 10 hold a dealer licence and 2 are pawnbrokers — both can run a transfer, though a pawn counter may quote differently for one.
- They are spread across 9 ZIP codes (92103, 92104, 92109, 92110, 92111, 92120, and others), so the nearest one may not be the first on this list — check the address against where you actually are.
- San Diego ranks 12th of the 475 California towns that have any licensed dealer, holding 0.9% of the state's licences.
California requires every private firearm sale to go through a licensed dealer, so an FFL is not optional here — you need one of the dealers below. Full California transfer law guide →

Doing the transfer itself
A dealer handles the background check. The bill of sale, both parties’ records and a permanent copy of the paperwork are what Gun Transfer does — $50 flat, about ten minutes, without either of you driving anywhere twice.
