Hello,
My Mother in law will be moving back to CA and has a number of weapons in her gun safe from her deceased husband. Out of the 14 long guns I have concerns about 7 of them. My Mother-in-law calls it my dowry :D
I have used the flow chart and think I am going to have issues with the list below. It would be great if some one can offer solutions to keep these weapon's in the family. They really mean a lot to her, shooting was something they did often together. The registration paper work was communicated over the phone so I don't have all the details on it. We do have copies of a number of DOJ applications and CA registrations.
First the weapons - then some questions below
Springfield Armory - SAR 48
~ Purchased and registered in CA in 1990
Eagle Arms EA-15 CAL 5.56
~Purchased and registered in CA 2000
~Has a push button magazine release that I will need to replace
SLR 95
~Purchased and registered in CA 1998
Romack AR-74
~Purchased and registered in CA 2000
Armalite AR-7
~Purchased and registered in CA 1999
Golden State Arms Ak-47S
~Purchased and registered in CA 1990
590 shotgun with a pistol grip
Now the questions:
If any are banned completely - can I completely disassemble and keep as "parts" until the rifle is moved out of state, CA gets its head out of its ***, or complete government collapse (whichever comes first!)?
Can I just replace the lower on any that are banned by name and make modifications to make it legal?
If the weapons were registered to the deceased, does the spouse carry any grandfathered benefits?
There are a number of 30 round magazines purchased prior to 2000 - are these grandfathered and do we have to prove they were purchased by the surviving spouse?
There are also a number of handguns, do I need to register any that were not registered in CA prior, or do I need to register in the name of the surviving spouse?
Thanks in advance for any help and guidance.
