The 4 Rules of Gun Safety ("The 4 Rules")
Treat all guns as if they're loaded (even when you know they aren't).
Never point the muzzle at anything you aren't willing to destroy.
Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target.
Know your target and what is beyond it (avoid any and all collateral damage).

Where does a non mag fed semi auto hand gun fit into the PC? When LEO go to ppt it. Just “load” 10? 🤷🏻♂️.
I know its fun to joke about how he basically goes through his garbage bins to find things trade for high value items and then constantly begs and spams people - but not allowing this behavior is actually a huge site improvement. Has he been removed from CAguns? I notice my listings on calguns get spammed by him while those same listings on CAguns remain unbothered.
If we don't have to listen to him try to pay for everything with dirty rugs and wares then I think this is one of the many things contributing to a much better experience on CAguns. Good job u/ikeo1
By the way has he actually ever legitimately bought something with money from someone?
Have shot a lot and feel most comfortable on a pcc or rifle compared to a pistol or shotgun. Have looked at 9mm options like the cz scorpion or a cheap extar. I have a 556 ar but feel like it is too long for something I’m looking to move into, have also looked into 300 blackout because it’s been my favorite to shoot silenced (in another state) And also wondering what different rounds you guys use for home defense and what you recommend
Hey guys, I’m building my first p365 and was wondering what mags come in the stock version. I know one is 10 stock but is the other one a 12 rounder dimpled at 10? I’m looking at some macro adapters that connect on the bottom that add some weight to it Here is what I’m talking about if anyone has any experience with these
I’m a non-resident student on F-1 visa since 2018 and have been invited for some hunting in CA. I’m getting my Hunting License the upcoming week. I got a driving license with Real ID, a SSN. Will I be able to purchase a firearm for hunting?
I went to a gun store and asked. The associate wasn’t very helpful trying to understand my situation and just said I need a green card or I-94 card. I don’t have a green card obviously, but what about the I-94? Overall it felt like he wasn’t interested in helping out or clarifying the laws.
If anyone could clarify on this it would be great! Thanks
As the title suggests, I was wondering if I am going to be able to buy a gun, specifically a lever action, the same day I take the FSC(assuming I pass of course). I saw a post from a year ago and people were saying it would be allowed but since a year has passed, I’m not sure, especially since a friend of mine who recently went through the process themselves said he had to wait a few days for the background check to clear on the FSC before he could even place an order. Any information would help, thank you.
Hi everybody, Hoping someone with experience can help me understand what sight combination I should use for my front and rear sights to achieve a “combat hold” (at least I think that’s what it’s called) where I place the dot of my front sight post on my intended POI. The oem sizes on my p365 are sized 6 front and 6 rear. While looking up a few forums I hear people saying it should be 6 rear and 8 front.
Hey everyone, going to pick up my CCW Permit in a few weeks, what insurance do you guys use? herd a lot of bad things about UCCSSA or whatever there called, but I want to know what you Californians use specifically, I know our state is shitty when it comes to gun laws.
Is $1000 a good price. (At Sportsman’s)
Dawn Slide from Lone Wolf came in, it was half off and I believe they are discontinuing these slides, slides come blank and I’m going to have to swap the internals when the dros time ends. Come back tomorrow to see the optic mount.
San Bernadino National Forest. Driving through, maybe stopping at a lake, driving through some more, drive out where it says “Leaving State Park” etc, what’s the rules here? As soon as I see the “Entering San Bernardino National Forest” sign, do I gotta lock it up? Seperate mags, ammo etc? We always take drives through these areas and can suddenly end up in and out of the “State Parks”. I see online no firearms on or within 150 yards of a campsite for this specific area.
Finally got it in and the sights mounted. Holosun Red Dot and 3x Magnifier. Chambered in .308.
Just pasted yesterday that new law restrict CCW in places.
Anyone in the bay area could lend me a 10 round 2011 mag ? I could order some online but it wont make it to me in time for my pickup date
I bought this upper for about $450 at an FFL, any experiences? I know that Aero makes good lowers but I haven’t hear much about their uppers.
If you are looking for these models Called2arms’s gun shop in Modesto ,ca has them in stock limited stock
Before anyone says anything, I’ve done my research and googled what I’ve needed lol.
There was the same post about 5 months ago asking about the best CA hammer fired pistols, but now I’m wondering what they would be, especially now that CZ’s are off the roster.
I’ve looked at some off roster 2011’s, as nice as they are, the prices are really throwing me off being deep into the 1000s. I get that you gotta pay to play but it’s a little too much.
What would yall recommend as a nice hammer fired pistols now? I’ve been thinking a 1911, but there have been a lot of different options when choosing, but I’m currently stuck between this and the Beretta M92. TIA!
Seems like a lot of people are suggesting the P226, so I’ll just have to see whats up with this versus the 92! Thank you all for the input!
Just bought this today. Slowly wanting to build it up. What uppers and parts kits should I get? Triggers and BCGs and all. Looking for a complete upper but ok with buying a new BCG and charging handle. Budget is around 2-3k
Has anyone who renewed with LASD done their training before submitting the renewal docs?
I'm seeing more info on people lapsing and figured if I got the training done before the 90 day period and then have it ready to go the moment I get the "go forward with training" email I'll speed up the process.
I don’t want break guide lines. But are we allowed to say which gun shop has selected firearms in stock? Admin please chime in. Thank you
Any good recommendations for conceal carry? I went to the range today and loved how the Glock 43 felt but was informed it wasn’t on the roster. I also enjoyed firing the p365 macro and Glock 19x but am looking for more solid recommendations.
Didn't know the right flairs so thought I'll just freebase it .also tryed calling the station was only met with a automated call system.
Point being is my pops birthday is coming up.and he wants to go shooting but he doesn't like indoor ranges to many restrictions compared to some BLM ranges. And BEE Canyon is the nearest range he wants to go back to . The last time we went there was during fire season and had yet to go back,but since his 58th birthday is coming up he wants to go back this weekend.
And to have actual point to this post.
Has anyone been to BEE Canyon this past weekend/ month and are they more freely open where we can take the truck out to the hill and set up some targets like before and not where we had to park at the ranger station haul out the gear and be limited to when ever the ranger shows up (Example 20 miutes in ) hell the longest we been out there was a hour and 20 and that good 40 miutes was use picking up our brass and targets as well as piling up trash the other mongers left since iam sorry it would of been the right thing if there was a dumper to drop all this off .
Whoops went off the handle there .
It’s the only semi auto rifle I own. I’m looking to visit some family in Redding and I’d like to bring the rifle with me.
Anyone ever think about just moving out of California, buying some land and having your own range at home? Where we all going?
I’m getting a Glock soon and can’t decide if I want the od green version or the standard black gun. The od green is more brown than green, but isn’t really as tan as fde. For those of you with a od green Glock, how do fde attachments (such as a coyote rmr or surefire x300) look when paired with the green.
