Other State Are My Guns CA Compliant?

[toast]

There is a possibility we may have to move to CA for business at some point.

Given the possibility of OR 114 permit to purchase being implemented, I have decided to audit our collection now, and depending on the results of that audit, possibly adding a couple new CA compliant guns to the collection before the 114 decision comes down.

My question is how do I audit my current collection? I realize that CA has an "approved for purchase" list, and if a particular gun is on that list, that makes it easy enough. But what about models that aren't specifically on that list? Is there an available flow chart or easy list of banned characteristics that I can use to evaluate each item?

What a PITA all these dumb placebo laws are....

For handguns, also prioritize buying the ones that are not on the roster before you move. Once there there are a few ways to purchase an off roster handgun, but they are expensive. Especially out of production handguns. https://www.oag.ca.gov/firearms/certified-handguns/search

I'm not buying anything in CA because of their permit registry (that was already hacked).

I won't buy anything in OR if the P2P goes into effect here either.

I am actually not concerned about the government knowing what I have. They already know, and I can't do much about that. I am WAY more worried about registries being hacked and personal information being effectively distributed to the public / gangs / organized crime / other potential thieves.

You'll have to make a decision about whether to follow CA's new resident firearm registration law. They require all people moving into the state to register all of their firearms.

How good is this business opportunity? It isn't just gun control. The amount of Nanny State micromanagement down there, mismanagement of fire risks, new taxes, heat, and crowding is not for the faint of heart.

Whatever you decide, good luck.

Did this in Hawaii, I'm not doing it again.

I don't KNOW FOR SURE but years ago I looked into a move to CA.

Besides the politics of the place. I also noted that my entire collection would have to be listed and approved before I could legally move into the state with the EVIL OBJECTS.

Rrrrright........that's NOT gonna happen. LOL......since then, things have only gotten worse.

Aloha, Mark

If you do opt for a California residence, you will, indeed, be "Toast".

And the statute of limitations is one year, according to www.calgunlawyers.com/california-firearm-registration-for-new-residents/

So after a year, you're good to go!

Okay, so after a year, you are no longer liable for prosecution. BUT: Does the confiscation clause go away after one year as well?

Probably not.

One thing to keep in mind is that if someone gets caught carrying a pistol there without a carry license, it is a felony if the pistol is not registered to the person carrying it . (At least as of 2018).

I surely appreciate all the thoughtful and informative responses. Thank you!

I think I am going to have to try to figure out how to maintain dual residences if we wind up having to move. There is no way I will submit to the registry, so I guess it's mostly moot.

 

[roseburger]

Your best bet is to find a way no leave guns in Washington.

 

[toast]

Currently in OR, but yeah, that's sort of where my head is at now -- just leave everything here and maintain a home just to house them. What a great use of our discretionary budget!

The other option seems to be establishing residence in SD, which is what a lot of permanent RV & van dwellers do when they don't have a real physical address to use for vehicle registration & residency requirements. I think that can cover me legally, but will still leave the problem of where to maintain storage.

Fun!

If you don't buy (import, register) at least one firearm in California, you can't buy ammunition in California.

I don't know, are they?

I maintain a safe in another state! I own many guns that are not CA friendly. As long as I only have access to the safe, they are not in anyone else's control. When it comes to moving guns into CA the law says you have 60 days to register them. You can bring many off list guns in and within that 10 days register them. What you can't bring is any handguns that have a threaded barrel, have a magwell that is not in the grip, have a forward vertical grip, or any mags that hold more than 10 rounds. No handguns that will except a shotgun shell or has a smooth bore.
You cannot bring guns with the intent to sell the off-list guns in CA, but you can sell them once you are here. [ it's an intent thing].
You cannot buy ammo here unless you have a gun registered here.

Here is the AG's web site on the subject

Firearms Information for New California Residents

Pursuant to Penal Code sections 17000 and 27560, any person who moves into California with a firearm is considered a "Personal Firearm Importer" and is required by California law to do one of the following within 60 days: Complete and submit a New Resident Report of Firearm Ownership (BOF...

Also pay close attn to how you can carry a gun in CA. you can not have a gun in your cars glove box or center consol, even if its locked.
Good luck DR
