thats it?

[ontmark]

Good Job

[KWA-S]

Thanks for the list, I've got some reading to do there.

I'm interested in AB668, the expansion of the "Safe" School Zone by over 225%. Do you think that this will encompass a large enough area that we can challenge it if it passes?

[yellowfin]

Any thoughts on the reciprocity bill?

[the_donald_]

Librarian, you are a wealth of knowledge. Posts like these affirm my decision to join Calguns.

[Librarian]

Bump for first bill status updates in first post

[chris]

Any thoughts on the reciprocity bill?

that would be a very tough bill to get passed. if it was to happen this state would have to implode first then accept it.

[yellowfin]

that would be a very tough bill to get passed. if it was to happen this state would have to implode first then accept it.
The state is imploding already. So what's next?

[rips31]

thanks for the consolidation!

[Librarian]

3/18 bump for update on SB 41 - Set for hearing March 31

[yellowfin]

While we're pushing for 357, we need to oppose 225.

[Paladin]

Thanks, Librarian, for your work. You've earned a well-deserved 5-stars for keeping this thread up to date! :thumbsup:

[xLusi0n]

Well if for some reason the repripocity bill passes, it doesn't specify which states CA DOJ will have to agree with...maybe they'll have an agreement with IL or WI.

[xLusi0n]

Hope this isn't a dupe, but I found it interesting.

[xLusi0n]

Opps, that was supposed to be a new post :( <--Fail.

[yellowfin]

Well if for some reason the repripocity bill passes, it doesn't specify which states CA DOJ will have to agree with...maybe they'll have an agreement with IL or WI.
WI might have CCW by that time.

[CA_Libertarian]

Reading SB746...

(e) It is the intent of the Legislature that any legislation enacted
to create the board would also provide funding for the board by
imposing a twenty-five dollar ($25) fee on all retail sales of
firearms, or transfers of firearms between persons who are not
licensed firearms dealers, and that moneys generated pursuant to
those provisions would be deposited in the Gun Safety Board
Special Fund.

We need to stop these lunatics...

[motorhead]

thx librarian. we need to know the real legislation pending as rumors abound.

[AKman]

I can live with a reduction in the school gun free zones from 1000 feet to 1500 inches. ;)

[ryno066]

I can live with a reduction in the school gun free zones from 1000 feet to 1500 inches. ;)

Thats still 125'.

[AKman]

Thats still 125'.

Unfortunately, its also typo. AB668 would increase the gun free killing zone to 1500 feet (' not ").

[Librarian]

Bump for 3/20 update to SB 585, 697, 746

They're supposed to take bills pretty much in numerical order. Maybe they think DeSaulnier really will replace Tauscher, and they're trying to clear his bills.

[Pvt. Cowboy]

Any thoughts on the reciprocity bill?

I like it. :thumbsup:

[Librarian]

Bump for status changes

AB 668, 1500' rule, to ASM Public Safety

AB 714, metal knuckles, to ASM Public Safety

SB 585, gun sales at Cow Palace, hearing date in SEN Public Safety 4/14

[Wildhawk66]

Anybody have any inside info on the real intent of AB1390?

With regard to school district police departments, it looks to me like this is an attempt to turn independant school police departments into agents of the local city PD or Sheriff. As far as I know any PD, including a school PD, that is employing sworn personnel is going to have its own evidence storage already. As to the information sharing portion, if this was about safety/information sharing, wouldn’t it make sense to include a part requiring the muni agency to share local gun crime info with the school PD as well. Seems like a power play on the part of some LE organization or other...

[Librarian]

Bump for 3/25 update.

Per CAL-ERT 03/25/09 --- 4:00 PM (Mike Haas)

AB 225 Issue: CONCEALED FIREARMS LICENSE - "GOOD CAUSE" Author: Miller Description: NRA-sponsored Legislation.
URL: http://nramemberscouncils.com/legs.shtml?summary=ab225.1&year=2009
This bill would define "Good Cause" in relation to the issuance of CCW permits in California.

Existing law authorizes the issuance, by the sheriff of a county, of a license to carry a concealed handgun or a loaded and exposed handgun, as specified. This bill is a "spot bill", meaning the details of its final language are still under development and will replace the current language when complete.

Full text of the announcement posted in several places on Calguns.

Add http://www.calnra.com/legs.shtml link to the bottom of post #1,

[CCWFacts]

AB 225: Weird, the text right now makes only the change of limiting CCW to handguns only, which is, IMHO, a bad change, with an impact mainly on police reserves. If they are going to turn it into a shall-issue bill, then that's cool! Two shall-issue bills, and one reciprocity bill, in play? When the NRA gets behind something, you know it's not just a flash in the pan.

[Paladin]

Two shall-issue bills, and one reciprocity bill, in play? When the NRA gets behind something, you know it's not just a flash in the pan.Yes! And with Nordyke due in, acc to Gene, just two weeks, this year may be the year where the PRK starts turning back into CA, at least as far as our 2nd A RKBA.

I hope all CalGunners block out time on their daytimers to make those calls/faxes/One-Click emails/snail mails when the NRA/CalNRA/CGF say to. We'll be storming the gates of the antis' "fortress California." :chris:
:79:

[7x57]

Yes! And with Nordyke due in, acc to Gene, just two weeks, this year may be the year where the PRK starts turning back into CA, at least as far as our 2nd A RKBA.


You mean California was once part of America? Wow.

[Librarian]

Bump for 4/14 - lots of amended bills

[Nodda Duma]

Bump for 3/26 update.

175 is amended - now deletes exceptions to CFLC



I looked at the bill, but think I need help translating. Does it impact C&R exemptions?

-Jason

[Anthonysmanifesto]

I looked at the bill, but think I need help translating. Does it impact C&R exemptions?

-Jason

It clarifies the standing of FFL 03's. So far - its a modest and clean measure by my reading.

[Swiss]

Reading SB746...



We need to stop these lunatics...

The best part is that they'll take that $25 per sale and give it to anti-gun groups as grants to promote "gun safety". So we'll see advertising that tells people that "guns are dangerous" (read bad), which turns public opinion, and we pay for it. Now if that doesn't make you hoppin' mad I don't know what will.

Can we get a pro-gun senator to propose an amendment to SB746 (see bold text):


(c) It is the intent of the Legislature that any legislation
enacted to create the board would also require the board to do all of
the following:
(1) Implement programs, and adopt standards, rules, and
regulations in accordance with the provisions of this act to reduce
gun violence.
(2) Conduct research into the causes of, and solutions to, gun
violence, and systematically attack the serious problems caused by
gun violence.
(3) Provide grant money to reduce gun violence.
(4) Educate the public on their Constitutional rights with emphasis on the 2nd Amendment and the principles of the right to bear arms.
(d) The board would do both of the following:
(1) Contract for technical advisory services and other services as
may be necessary for the performance of its powers and duties.
(2) Appoint advisory groups and committees as it requires.
(e) It is the intent of the Legislature that any legislation
enacted to create the board would also provide funding for the board
by imposing a twenty-five dollar ($25) fee on all retail sales of
firearms, or transfers of firearms between persons who are not
licensed firearms dealers, and that moneys generated pursuant to
those provisions would be deposited in the Gun Safety Board Special
Fund.
(f) The Board, and all its appointed advisory groups and committees, shall be equally represented by both major political parties.

Bump to add SB 776 re magazines

[Librarian]

Bump for 4/17 updates; some bills passed from first committees, some amended and will be heard again in same committee.

[Richie Rich]

Any guesses on what bill the governor will sign?

He seems to sign one anti gun bill into law every year.

[Librarian]

Bump for quick update, covered better in specific threads

AB 357 (shall-issue) fails in Public safety
http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/showthread.php?t=175740

AB 962 (ammunition restrictions) passes Public Safety -- looks like this one will get out of the Assembly pretty easily, since DeLeon chairs Appropriations. Time to write - not email - your own Senator, too early for Senate Public Safety.
http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/showthread.php?t=175724

AB 668 (school zones from 1000' to 1500') passes Public Safety
http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/showthread.php?t=175741

It's a bunch more fun to support a bill you want than to keep grinding at bills you don't want, but we're at the grinding stage.

ETA

Note that the Committee analysis for 357 says Support

American Justice Center
California Association of Firearms Retailers
California Rifle and Pistol Association
Gun Owners of California
Hi-Caliber Investigations
National Rifle Association
Stutchman Forensic Laboratory
469 Private Citizens



Let's try something different - IN ADDITION TO contacting your very own rep or senator, and sending something polite to the members of the committee, also FAX or WRITE to the committee itself a note saying, approximately,
"please count me as a private citizen opposed to xxxx"That's it. Your name and address and one line.

[Librarian]

Bump for minor updates - votes from 4/21 not yet posted at

Bump for 5/27 update - watch for Appropriations hearings tomorrow, 5/28. Things may come off 'Suspense'.

[Librarian]

I -think- I got them all today; when there are 20, it gets a bit labor intensive...

THESE FOLLOWING APPARENTLY DIED BECAUSE THEY FAILED TO MOVE FROM HOUSE OF ORIGIN
AB 1498 - DeLeon: Firearms possession
SB 776 - Hancock - Firearms: large-capacity magazines
SB 746 - DeSaulnier - A "gun safety board"
AB 1167 - Nielsen - CCW Reciprocity
SB 697 - DeSaulnier - owner-authorized handguns
AB 373 - Hagman - 12040, firearms while masked?
AB 225 - Miller - Firearms: concealed firearm license.

[motorhead]

thank you sir. your hard work is appreciated.

[jello2594]

I've emailed all Senators regarding AB 668, and have so far only gotten a response from Carol Liu (via, Robert Oakes), telling me:

Thank you for your e-mail opposing AB 668.
This bill is currently in the Senate Rules Committee, awaiting assignment to a policy Committee.
Should this bill come before me for a vote, I will take your comments into consideration.

[Librarian]

Bump for 7/3 update.

[kap]

Thanks for keeping all of this updated. It is a great resource.

Bump for 7/30 update.

(Finally caught my breath)

[radioburning]

Any activity with SB 41? Lowenthal is my district, I believe she lost someone close to her by a gangbanger with a handgun. Any bill she's writing in relation to guns is not gonna be hepful to gun owners(or deter crime).

Latest analysis (http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/09-10/bill/sen/sb_0001-0050/sb_41_cfa_20090824_190250_asm_floor.html) says SUMMARY : Requires firearms dealers to provide a firearms buyer
with a copy of the dealer record of sale (DROS) form at the time
of delivery of the firearm and after the dealer notes the date
of delivery and the dealer and purchaser acknowledge the
purchaser's receipt of the firearm, as specified.

Seems to have been before the Assembly for third reading today; likely then to pass.

[KylaGWolf]

Thanks for the list, I've got some reading to do there.

I'm interested in AB668, the expansion of the "Safe" School Zone by over 225%. Do you think that this will encompass a large enough area that we can challenge it if it passes?

Oh not only do they expand it they ALSO take OUT the locked container exemption. So it will become illegal to carry your gun in a locked case to your car unless you have a garage or fenced in yard if you live within the zone.

[Librarian]

Bump for update to 962 (Ammunition) and 585 (Cow Palace).

Nothing new - same as the separate threads - both have passed the second house and are ready to go to the Governor.

Time to write Arnold about these.
