20. I purchased a handgun in the late 1970s

A Ruger, single-shot revolver. I bought it mainly to understand more about handguns. This was in California and I thought I paid for it and filled out a form. Then I waited a few days and returned to the sporting goods store to pick it up. I could be wrong as this was 35 years ago.

I was under the impression that my name was placed on a list maintained by the state; I thought this was the "registration process."

I sold the Ruger to a friend a couple of years later and understood at the time that I was to notify California that I no longer owned that handgun. I'm not sure if I was supposed to identify the buyer.

I just don't remember.
