Am I legal?
01/2018 house bought in NV
02/2018 CA ‘evil’ guns moved to NV 03/2018 Became resident of NV. DL, voters reg, cars titled and registered. 04/2018-03/2019 remaining guns moved to NV. CA safe sold. 04/2019 CA house listed, offer accepted. How do I handle my Kahr PM9? I have it in a locked case cable locked to the car when I go between locations. Can I even bring it into CA? I think it is still on the roster. Still spending more time in CA than NV as I am self moving the boxes, etc. Large furniture pro moved when house closes.

Ditto on the PM9, as long as it is unloaded. The rest of your question can't really be answered, if your real question is if you will be considered a CA resident? It is hard to tell if you will have been found to have yet changed your state of residence if you still spend most of your time here and residency can come down to a question of fact that is up to the whims of the trier of fact Be it judge or jury, and one loses that one even if they win, after all the personal and financial costs of a an arrest and prosecution.

Well, packing and moving piecemeal takes time.

Understood, but if you are worried about being prosecuted as a CA resident, the best thing is to assume that you will be considered one even though you believe you are now the resident of NV. If you buy any firearms in NV, do not bring them into CA even if they are on the roster, without having them initially imported into CA by delivery to a CA FFL. Do not bring LCMs in. If the ammunition law is now in effect, and I am not up do date on if and when it goes into effect, do not bring more than 50 rounds of ammo in acquired from outside of CA. It may be a bunch of chicken **** stuff, and how likely it is to be enforced may be a horse of another color, but that is what I would do if I didn't want to worry about the stuff.

I am just concerned about traveling with a CA purchased (when I was a resident of CA) on-roster gun back into CA. I have no safe in CA so I can't leave it in the CA house.

You're fine. Unloaded in a locked container.
Roster only applies to pistols acquired via CA-based dealer transfer that are not otherwise exempt transactions. That is not your situation. |

The statute doesn't include a "50 round limit" on ammunition importation. (This was in the Proposition and was chaptered out by passage of SB 1235, effective 1/1/2017). However, the new statute does prohibit CA residents from importing ammunition into the state. A NV DL and license plates should alleviate that concern. Personal Firearms Importer: Quote:

Interesting. Should my moving ordeal extend beyond 7/1 I guess I will have to leave a few magazines in CA and travel with the gun only.

That's a smart decision, especially with CA-legal 10+ round magazine that cannot return after leaving the state.

Stock Kahr mags. No 10+ problem. I was looking at the importing ammo restrictions.

Yeah the obvious question is, How would they know where you purchased it? So yeah it's unenforceable either way unless you actually claim you bought it out of state. Not something I plan on worrying about if I travel. Basically zero chance someone is going to get charged with importing ammo because they have some loaded magazines. |

While what you said about personal firearms importer is correct, Dvrjohn, I was trying to answer the OP's question in practical way. Especially since PC 17000 and the vehicle code section incorporated therein concern are about new residents to CA. As a practical matter, a CA resident looking for a simple and to be safe, should assume that they will be still be considered a CA resident, imo, given the fact that the OP still spends most of his time in CA.
That an he likely still has a homeowner's exemption filed. He is most likely gong to be considered a NV resident, but if he wants to be safe while the dust settles and he finishes the move, he may want to play it as he is still a CA resident. |

Here is what the actual ammo law says.
30314. (a) Commencing January 1, 2018, a resident of this state shall not bring or transport into this state any ammunition that he or she purchased or otherwise obtained from outside of this state unless he or she first has that ammunition delivered to a licensed ammunition vendor for delivery to that resident pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 30312. Pay particular attention to the part that says "a resident of this state". I can pretty much guarantee that any LE the OP may encounter while moving his belonging between here and there, will take one look at his Nv DL and Nv license plate and consider the OP a resident of Nv. All of the "the state may still consider you a resident" is speculation and pure nonsense that would not even matter where the rubber meets the road. Property tax records are not accessible to the cop on the street. Since that cop on the street is the one who has to justify his action on an arrest or citation, where he would have a tough time justifying the first element of the crime "a resident of this state", I would not even have a thought of bringing ammo here from out of state in the OP's situation. |

You assume that he is in his NV car when a question of residency comes up, if it ever does. I don't know that he had to turn in his CDL to get a NV license, but what if he still has the CDL? As for the ammunition law, I think it is common knowledge that it is unlikely to be enforced even if did appear to be a CA res, but his question was not what is likely, but if he is legal. Whatever he means by legal. If for some quaint reason he runs up against potential prosecution, any decent lawyer has a lot to argue in support of him not being a CA res, but the pros still has its arguments to make based on what he posted. He still owns that house in CA and still spends most of his time here. The best answer is he is no longer a CA resident is in the act of moving into his now principle domicile, the place he plans to return to whenever he leaves that home, but it isn't clear.

I don't see where he would be violating any ammunition law by driving back and forth with loaded magazines. There is no violation to enforce, likely or otherwise.

The first part of the law, “(a) (1) For purposes of this division only and notwithstanding Section 516, residency shall be determined as a person’s state of domicile. “State of domicile” means the state where a person has his or her true, fixed, and permanent home and principal residence and to which he or she has manifested the intention of returning whenever he or she is absent.” clearly shows the OP no longer fits CA into that frame. Quote:
He’s accepted an offer on the house; it’s in escrow. When that closes, and title passes, he will still have filed for a homeowner’s exemption for this year. Would he still be in jeopardy? Of course not. But, he can’t prove CA residency. He doesn’t have the things needed under the VC to show residency. That’s because he’s a Nevada resident.

More importantly, you continue with your straw argument. While you try to win an argument about whether or not he is a res of CA of NV, the only issue was that to be safe he should play it as if he is a CA resident. Nobody can tell him with for certain that he will not be considered a CA res for firearm purposes. You don't know that this isn't about buying a gun. Okay. I see a major disconnect with what he did ask. He asks about bringing his Ca legal PM9 in and out. If that was all he was asking about, I don't know why he even asked if he was legal. I thought he was asking if he was still a CA residence, since I fail to see why he would even bring up those things relevant to determining residency. That federal law was different for gun buying wasn't brought up because the OP's question was about gun buying, but to illustrate that determination of residency under federal law can be different than that of the states.

Exactly, so tell us all, what changes in how a handgun is transported by a Ca resident, or a Nv resident in Ca? I'll give you a hint, NOTHING. For some reason you're hungup on residency, and if Ca could by some obscure means consider the OP a resident, which has nothing to do with what the OP asked. It's irrelevant to the ammo law which wouldn't apply anyway.

This is correct for CA residents.

A California resident can travel to and from California with loaded magazines or boxes of ammo, as long as he purchased the ammo in California. Is the place of purchase really the issue you are sticking on all along? Then why wouldn't you just say, "Make sure you don't bring out of state ammo into the state and you're good to go"? |

Get off the "the state may consider you a resident" bus it doesn't fit. The very first element of the crime is for the person to be a resident of this state. Clearly you don't understand that, or just plain don't want to. You have yet to say how someone who is driving a car registered in Nevada, who possess' a Nevada DL, could be considered a resident of California. It's an infraction, how much extra work do you thing anyone is going to do for an infraction? |

All of the above is just another example of why California has become the laughing stock of the nation; you folks are spinning around so fast that even a cartoon Tasmanian Devil would get seasick.
OP: unload it, trunk it, drive safe. No need for another epic five hundred page Calguns thread of rabbit holes. I'm going out hunting..... |

To quote Rodney, “I just want to say – you know – can we all get along?”
I was concerned about 2 things. 1. Non-CA resident traveling with a gun to a CA destination vs traveling through CA. 2. The ammo importation laws coming up. 1 is apparently no problem. CA resident or not. 2 applies to CA residents which I don’t think I am. I thought it was any ammo by anyone. I have no intention to live in CA so that nitpick does not apply. My time in CA since 3/2018 was not of my making. I have stuff to sell and move. Can’t do that if you are not in CA. As for the homestead thing I was a CA resident on 01/01/2018 so it is good for 2018. And one has until 12/10 of the year they are no longer a resident on 1/1 to unclaim the exemption. I better have this place sold by 12/10/2019! Thanks for all your input.
