any manufacturer that wanted to sell weapons to CA had to retool their machines and come up with new designs so they could sell them in CA.
(side note Glock was one of the only manufacturer that did not have to change their designs even though they didn't have the visible chamber inspection deal, because they had a running deal with CA, and had a ton of their weapons out through police issue)
This, Kommiefornians won't get rid of her. She's the
who lifted the house off that b**ch?...i thought she died in oz?
When we go hiking in the woods, I open carry just in case we run into two or four legged monsters. I guess I'll have only take one of my sub compacts that have less then 10 rds capability.
Be careful. As I understand it a handgun needs to be listed as approved on the AG's list of approved handguns ... not all handguns are listed. I do not think California allows open carry either, unless you are hunting in the appropriate places (better have a hunting license). Since you are not simply passing through the state, that might be considered a concealed carry weapon.
Bottom line: One has to be cautious in California. I suggest you contact the California DOJ and get their written opinion/instructions and approval of your chosen handgun (or scan their list of approved handguns).
The Firearms Owners Protection Act allows you to transport firearms through a state that are not legal in that state as long as they are properly stored. You cannot stop for other than travel related reasons.
The U.S. Supreme Court recently declined to hear two civil cases that arose out of FOPA.
Guys,
Help me out....the last handgun I bought at the gun show had on the box "illegal in Calif".
What makes the gun illegal? When I lived in Calif...don't tell anybody...I owned similar handguns (Colt 1911, Berretta, etc...), they weren't illegal. Also read an article about SBR's (AR's) being illegal.
If I move or have to travel through California, it appears I'd have to ship the guns. Don't want a felony charge just for transporting my guns to other state when I move.
Help me out...
Thanks,
Refer to Torraco et al v. Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (615 F. 3d 129) - This is the case that addressed the lack of civil remedies and is the case that I referenced. It consolidated two cases (John Torraco and William Winstanley) that had similar claims.
You may also want to check out Revell v. Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (598 F. 3d 128) - This case isn't as clear on point as Torraco, and it makes a distinction where the traveler stopped and thus placed himself outside the protection of the FOPA.

liberal democrats!
*sigh* No. "CALIFORNIAN LAWMAKERS" would be the proper answer.
There are PLENTY of liberal democrats who are pro-gun-rights. (See The Liberal Gun Club <broken link removed> <broken link removed> The Gun Toting Liberal Gun Loving Liberal – Because our Constitution matters. Liberals With Guns Pink Pistols and more. Although Pink Pistols aren't guaranteed liberal, definitely overwhelmingly so.)
By writing off all liberal democrats as anti-gun, you alienate many potential allies in pushing pro-gun legislation. The RIGHT is just as responsible for convincing liberals they should be anti-gun as the left is. Republican extremists yell loudly about how they are massively pro-gun, so some liberals knee-jerk adopt an anti-gun stance solely in reaction. There are plenty of us fighting that stereotype - plenty of us who argue that gun rights *ARE* liberal.
