The law requires markings in two places. The primer is only one, basically the case is the other. IIRC the idea was that the chamber would imprint the information as the case is fire formed to the chamber walls.

In one implementation of the present invention, the interior surface is a striking surface of a firing pin and the marking indicia is brought into contact with the imprint surface by a striking action of the firing pin against the imprint surface and the imprint surface is located on a primer of the cartridge.

In another implementation of the present invention, the interior surface is an inner surface of the firearm chamber abutting a wall of the cartridge case and the marking indicia is brought into contact with the imprint surface by expansion of the cartridge case wall due to a propellant charge pressure in the cartridge case.

The concept they don't understand, is the bad guy also isn't going to bother buying a microstamped gun, and even if he does, he certainly isn't going to leave the firing pin stamps intact.

I believe it just says "two or more places on the casing", so theoretically that could just mean stamping the primer twice. Of course, then there's the argument about whether or not the primer even counts as part of the "casing".

These "true crime" shows crack me up, with all the ballistic match BS. Change the firing pin before crime and change the barrel after the crime.

I edited and posted the patent info above, and the penal code. It says two places on the firearm interior must be marked, I'd think the firing pin only counts as one place but who knows.

I thought I read the stamp is not only primer but casing too

In most autoloaders, changing the firing pin is not as easy as changing the barrel, so there is some barrier to the remedy you are discussing.

On a related subject, does any firearm manufacturer have an 'operational' microstamping pistol or rifle available for sale?

Admittedly changing a barrel is simple (if not expensive). The firing pin is not challenging. Most semi auto's it's a 15 minute operation to change the firing pin and YouTube abounds with instructions on how to do it. Some guns are really simple. Any Glock it's a 5 minute job to change the striker pin. I've stripped so many semi autos to the frame to cerakote or polish, I've lost count. Just keep a bunch of spare pins, detents, and springs around.

No firearm manufacturer has viable microstamping technology. The dufuss that patented it didn't ever have a proof of concept. He was trying to make a fast buck off gun manufacturers. When he had no luck, he released the patent into the public domain. Get the patent office to declare the patent null and void. No patent, no micro stamping therefore open up the roster. The law can't ask something that is impossible.

Unfortunately, getting a patent invalidated is not exactly a trivial matter. Inter partes review (IPR) challenges cost $ (serious $, between the fees to the PTAB (patent trial and appeals board) and the law firm to file and prosecute the challenge). Given that the patent is in the public domain, there is minimal incentive to go the IPR route.

There would seem to be more opportunity to challenge a law for asking something that is impossible. However, that will still require a lawsuit (and the $ to sustain the lawsuit).

No, invalidating the patent does not help - the law says

No patent, technology is unencumbered by any patent restrictions.

Yes that is how the law in written. "Technology" unencumbered by patents. Get the patent rescinded on the basis there is "no technology" to patent, therefore DOJ is certifying a non existent technology is unencumbered by patents.

Ummm. Not really. You can file for a patent based on an idea. You don't have to have a working prototype to get a patent. The microstamping patent is in the public domain, so it is not inhibiting the microstamping requirement per se.

The stronger argument against microstamping would seem to be that no manufacturer has produced a working implementation that is ready for prime time. An idea is not a working implementation. I can have an idea for an internal combustion engine that gets 200 mpg. Until I can deliver a working version, it is just my idea.

Ironically, the microstamping patent-owner should have contacted NRA or CRPA for a license - the patent would have been a perfect way to block the legislation....

Having the NRA or CRPA own the patent would have been an excellent out come. That's true out of the box thinking.

plenty of technology is patented before it actually works, for precisely the reason of encumbering (preventing) others from beating you to it. See Boeing's "plasma shield" patent a couple years ago.
https://www.engadget.com/2015/03/23/...plasma-shield/
Clearly still fantasy, but if they get it to work they make a fortune. That's the point. So the entire idea of using a filed patent as a basis to say something is viable is extremely stupid, that's not how patents work. Great last line in this article "we'll believe it when we see it".

Debatable. Remember, utility patents expire and then the idea is in the public domain. It's pretty astounding how many "patents" reach popularity after their expiration date.

Is there anything new with this case? Last I recall, oral arguments were presented to the 9th. Is it still in a holding pattern while we wait for the 9th to say something?

With brings up a great point. When was the last time you offered to take a new shooter to the range and supply them with firearms and ammo? I'm in the high tech field and have taken a bunch of millennials who left the range with the biggest grin ever.

This case is not now and never has been in the federal court system, as the Eleventh Amendment to the US Constitution provides an immunity from prosecution to the states and state officers.

That said, this state law case resulted in a summary judgment in favor of the state in the trial court, followed by an appeal and reversal by the court of appeal, in a ruling that allowed the plaintiffs to attempt to show that the technology mandated by the statute to microstamp cartridges does not currently exist, and that therefore the AG's certification is in error and an abuse of her discretion.

Unsurprisingly, the State filed a petition for review with the California Supreme Court in January of this year, which petition was granted as follows: Petition for review after the Court of Appeal reversed the judgment in a civil action. This case presents the following issues: (1) Can a statute be challenged on the ground that compliance with it is allegedly impossible? (2) If so, how is the trial court to make that determination?

The State, after several extensions, filed its opening brief on the merits June 21, 2017 along with a request for judicial notice. My request to the attorney for NSSF (which is no longer Chuck Michel) went unanswered, so I have no idea what the State argued. Appellant's (plaintiff's) brief on the merits is due July 21, unless a request for an extension is sought and granted.

NSSF is represented by Lance Alan Selfridge, Lewis, Brisbois, Bisgaard & Smith, LLP, 633 West Fifth Street, Suite 4000, Los Angeles, CA. Maybe someone can get them to post a link or at least send the .pdf of the state's brief (which was filed electronically so it is already in thatformat)

As I recall, that was tried, but I think the purchase was Calguns.org. Working with the AG, the inventor waived his patent protection (mooting the extension), and thus the tech entered the public domain, at which time the certification was issued.

I managed to find a link to the CA SC website with the current case info: http://appellatecases.courtinfo.ca.g...doc_no=S239397

The case number for those interested is S239397

It looks like NSSF filed a motion for an extension of time until Aug 21, 2017 yesterday. And so the wait continues...

Thanks for finding that, looks like a number of things have happened since the last time anything was reported here. Nothing hugely noteworthy though.

Anyways, nice to see the wheels are turning, I had just assumed that the case was dormant, waiting for some judge to find it behind the file cabinet and dust it off.

If you go to the linked court web site, yo will find that you can sign up for e-mail alerts when anything happens. Unfortunately, there is no link to the briefs themselves.

It seems an undue burden to prove that something doesn't exist. The state should have to prove that a)the techology exists and b)that it can be manufactured "economically". Let's ignore whether the technology would have any benefit whatsoever and the potential to increase revolver use by the criminal elements.

The Attorney General, in her infinite wisdom, "certified" that the technology does exist, and therefore, as far as the law is concerned, it does exist until proved otherwise. Further, although we will have to wait and see what the Supreme Court has to say, I suspect that Plaintiff will also have to show that her "factual" determination was not just wrong, but that she "abused her discretion" in making that determination, a significant burden. Under the abuse of discretion standard, it must be shown that the decision was "outside the bounds of reason." Given that the technology that is currently available (although experimental) does not stamp a casing in two places as mandated by the law, I think that Plaintiff has a pretty good shot at winning this case, depending of course, on what the Supreme court ultimately decides. If it reverses, the court of appeal, the case is over. If it sustains, then it will set the evidentiary standard that the Plaintiff will have to meet to overturn the certification.

As an added bonus, I'd like to see Kamala jailed for perjury. I don't think she was technically under oath when she wrote her certification, but seeing as it was a bold-faced lie with serious consequences, I would lose no sleep to see her behind bars as a result.

I think this ruling is political expediency. Sacramento is trying to clean up the gun laws before Trump gets into office.
trump is in office now.

and he has done nothing on this front at all. he is just like any other elected zombi.
just doing nothing for the tax payers. and lining his ( and $ friends) pockets with our tax dollars.

Trump has no authority over state laws or cases in federal courts challenging state laws. What would you have him do, within constitutional limits that is?

Really? Try <5 minutes.

Changing the barrel is at most, a 15 second undertaking.

Changing the striker in a Glock would only take 30 seconds more. Same for a 1911. There is, practically speaking and for purposes of this conversation, no difference. There is no barrier to the remedy, zero.

And try changing out the barrel on a PPK or similar, maybe a Ruger Mk series 22 - let me know how your 15 second rule works out.

All of this is moot since 70% of guns used in crimes are stolen, the stamped casing would just point to the original owner from whom the gun was stolen.
But then again, they never intended to solve crimes, did they?

NSSF filed its answering brief today. The State has 20 days to file a reply.

Perhaps Librarian can contact NSSF's counsel Lance A. Selfridge and get copies for posting here?
