I’ve been stationed in North Carolina and have been pretty into training and firearms I currently own a sig 365xmacro comp and a sig 716i And trying to get a sig m400 anyways just wanted to know if there’s a gun bro community in California with all the weapon regulations since I’m moving back do dudes like going hard on the gear and training ?? And is there any ranges to train at moving to SoCal

Hey, everyone I just had a quick question to see if anyone would know the answer for me. I wanna get a CCW but I hear it’s extremely expensive to get and the wait time is over a year so if anyone that has one in Cali can let me know how much it all comes into with the regular costs plus after tax and if it’s worth it. Thank you.

Sorry if this is not the right place to ask this!

My grandfather recently passed away and my mom wants me to have his guns, nothing illegal - a few handguns and two shotguns.

My question is this: what do I need to do to LEGALLY take ownership of these guns? I live in Los Angeles if that makes any difference.

Sorry if this has been asked before. I’m originally from Texas where they make these things significantly easier lol

Anyway, thanks!

I know I’m not the first to ask this, but there seem to be so many variables and so much information that I’m getting overwhelmed. I figured I’d ask here to get some specific information.

Next week I’ll be flying from Idaho to Oakland for a hunting trip in Northern California near the Oregon border. Right now I’m planning on traveling with my smith and Wesson M&P 2.0 9mm full size with 15 round magazines, an sig p355 with 10 round magazines, a 12 gauge shotgun with the magazine limiter removed so it holds 6 shells, and a bolt action 6.5 creedmoor rifle.

I have seen some things about magazine capacities for handguns, but can’t tell if that’s something they’ll enforce or not. I can buy a 10 round magazine for my M&P, but if I don’t have to I won’t.

What’s the deal with ammunition? Can I buy it there? Or should I be traveling with everything I’ll need. Weight in my luggage is a concern there.

Can I have my ammo in the same case as the guns so long as they’re locked?

extra info: I have my concealed carry permit, but don’t plan on carrying while I’m there.

Anybody in northern Ca has been to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk while carrying? I have a CCW permit and was wondering if it’s ok to carry. I don’t want to call them cause I’m sure they’ll just tell me in a polite way not to carry, but won’t reference laws or rules.

I bought a Glock on July 1, I went out yesterday to purchase a hunting rifle, I was told I was not allowed to purchase another firearm until July 31 since California had a 1 a month law. I’ve tried searching it up but I get 2 answers that just don’t make sense. Anyone have any info would really appreciate it.

Hunting for an ar-15 optic. Which websites have the best sales for the best brands?

Thank you y’all.

A hypothetical scenario

If war breaks out between some country (I'm looking at you china) is it possible that gun restrictions will be lifted?

Is this M1A California legal? Moving there in a few months and want to get it ready just in case. Do the M1A's need a fixed magazine? Is any magazine over 10 rounds still illegal?

Lots of new information flying around the supreme Court and i don't feel like getting arrested.

There's no reviews on the Franklim arms Puma 12 gauge. I bought it almost a year ago I haven't had the chance to use it . What's everyone's opinion on it?

Are these legal if you put them on the side?

The law clearly states that foregrips stretching conspicuously downward mounted in the lower part of the barrel is illegal, but what if I mount it on the side of my gun and then move it at a 45 degree angle downward?

That shouldn't be illegal right? It only makes sense

Pls educate me on the subject random reddit "experts"

I am new gun owner, and I just moved to California a few years ago. I want to practice on my own targets outdoors in an open area. I know a little bit about forest shooting, but I don’t know where to go. Any recommendations? Looking for places around north cal.

I also like to camp so if there is an area where I can camp and practice, that would be great. Thanks in advance.

Good afternoon I just purchased my very first handgun ( Springfield hellcat) , from my understanding you have to store it when transporting it in a vehicle in the trunk of the car in a locked container, I drive a single cab f150 so do I just put it in the bed or is it ok if I have it in the cab of the truck but still locked away, thank you very much

Im 19 and my cousin wants to gift me a hand gun. I have my hunters license but I’m not 21. Is that even possible and if it is what do we have to do?

I heard I need 3.7 oz steel block which I think I can modify with the STL fire to get the steel block register. The firing pin, I heard you have to get that microstamp. Is that True?

Anybody else have the state tax board give you a hard time after purchasing your first firearm in California. I'm in my 30s and never had an issue, and nothing in my life has changed since last tax season except I live in California which does everything possible to discourage gun ownership. Wondering if this is another subtle tactic they're using to punish gun owners.

So I’m just curious if anyone has been through a similar situation or might have some advice. So when I was a minor I was arrested for a felony. I was 17, put in juvenile hall until my 18th birthday, which then I was released with my case being “expunged” California calls it dismissed. Would this have taken my 2A rights away from me?

I spoke with the county I was arrested in, spoke with the California delinquency department, they said juvenile cases are classified so they could not give me a direct answer of yes or no. They said you can give it a try, try to purchase a fire arm if you are denied we will let the fbi know the case was dismissed.

For one isnt it illegal to try to purchase a firearm in my case? Could I not be in trouble for trying? However nothing is making it easy on trying to figure out if I did lose my rights or not.

TLDR: What are the requirements in 2024 to have a California-legal AK?
I'm researching online however many results I find are from 2015, 2018, etc - just want to make sure I don't get my AK confiscated at the range / desert shooting (Sheriffs patrol there sometimes).

------------------------------------

Details:

I bought an AK back in 2012, here in Southern California, with whatever mods were needed to make it fully legal in CA. (The gun store it shipped to made sure it had all the necessary modifications).

It's a folding stock, so the store installed:

1. A long screw-on flash suppressor at the end of the barrel
2. Bullet button

Being that this was back in 2012, is there anything else I need to put on this AK to make it legal?

I know sherrifs sometimes go to the desert spot we want to go, to check for compliance, so I just want to make sure I'm complaint, don't want my AK to get confiscated.

I went by my local gun shop to see if I could by the guns I had on consignment (couldn’t sadly) and I asked the question if they had any slam fires for sale. The man at the register told me they were illegal in California because they were “ basically automatic “ - his words not mine I was wondering if that was in the case in California and why ?

Hey I need a help awnsering a question I wanted to buy a 7.5 upper to make a arp is it legal for me to order one from the internet?

Hello all,

I am new to getting a firearm and I really want to start with custom build of sig p320.

I saw people just buy the parts and assemble rather than buying a pistol then customizing it.

Is it possible to just buy parts and assemble it in CA? If so what does the process look like?

Thanks!!

The title pretty much says it all. When did California start overstepping the 2nd amendment, and infringing on gun rights for all its citizens? A specific year and specific bill would be what I’m curious about.

When did the train start to run off the tracks?
