Hello there in TV land! Sort of wore down by now, but I'm new to the hobby/sport. I'm still trying to get my pennies together to buy my gear for 3 gun competition in the future. I was wondering if any of you would chime-in with some questions that I have with regards to our wonderful state.
I have tried to understand the laws and the way they work when it comes to purchasing new guns, but being a noob and now joining this great net I feel overwhelmed with the amount of info being dropped on me.
First: I wanted to buy a new HK handgun, after figuring out the laws for new guns, and checking the gun list, I come to find out I can only buy a P2000 and USP. After joining the forum I see other models that I was eyeballing but didn't think I could get or still get. Like a HK 45 and/or Mark 23. I see a few postings for this items but I wonder if I could buy them? Can you school the noob, on this topic? Thanks.
Second: in watching some Piru 3 gun matches on Youtube I saw a guy in a pistol match, pretty good shot, doing his thing. What got my attention was the amount of lead he was dropping on the targets without reloading. If I am not mistaken he was using 17 round mags. I sent an email to the channel and I was referred to this site. Again, all I can say is that there is a lot of info and I'm dumbfounded at the moment. I was told that "we" could own this type of magazine but I'm not entirely sure. I was wondering if any of you know anything about this. No, I'm not trolling, this is a serious question just to inform myself and not make a mistake that could cost me dearly down the road. I would appreciate any info with this and my first question.
Thanks again and I hope that I can learn from all those of you that are willing to share your knowledge with me.
Stay safe!

Hello all, new to this site. Just want to be a better informed gun owner. It'll probable take me a little while to learn the ins and outs of the site, but any suggestions for where to post questions etc. would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello all! I am recently getting back into Guns and realized the other day that I have absolutely ZERO clues on most of the new laws, so I wanted to join and hopefully become up-to-date with things relevant to me and the guns I own.

My son was diagnosed with ASD about seven years ago and so the focus these last few years has been mostly about getting him as much help with the disorder as possible. He has come quite a long way and while I am still very much involved in participating with therapy sessions of all kinds, I've been finding a bit more "me time" over the last two years; it seems life is balancing out a bit better for me and the wife (who is very supportive of our gun collection).

I've been a gun owner since the early 90's. I have a pre-ban AK clone (Norinco), an SKS (Norinco as well), a Mossberg 500A and a Ruger 10/22. Really looking forward to getting back into the gun world after being away for years!

Glad to have you back. Hopefully you'll be back for good.

Newbie Here!

Hello Everyone, I am new to Calguns as of today, I heard about Calguns from a new 3%er Brother I just met within My SoCal Group. I live in the IE area, I am big on Defending The Constitution and 2nd Amendment. I am looking to hopefully meet some buddies to go out shooting with and even get a little more knowledge on building, cleaning and maintenance or firearms, and even getting some Tactical Training & Survival knowledge from any groups that hook up to do these type of Fun things! I am a positive and fun person and I really like to make everybody laugh (That is if they have a sense of humor) if not, then I will just have to try that much HARDER! I may be an older Cat but I have a VERY Young Heart and I love to have fun, even if its with Airsoft Guns and Battles! (never done it before but again, I love to have fun and try new things) I also have my serious side (Believe it or not) I am a Father of SIX Girls (Yes, 6!) and have dedicated my life into protecting them from any type of Threat or Danger coming our way. I am actually talking them into coming shooting with me as well and also getting them some Self Defense and Tactical training. So, Nice to Meet you all and I hope to meet some really cool peeps here on Calguns.

Big Jake, I meant the high power rifle shooters that wear funny hard back shooting coats and silly flappy hats and don't even have the sense to use a scope that is attached to the rifle..., but I can see how what I wrote could have been taken differently...........

New here... Howdy!
Names Steve, 22, from San Diego. Not an owner yet but have shot a few times. Just got my girlfriend to the range for her first time ever the other day, she loved it! I'm pretty sure I'm OK to start collecting haha. I think I'm gonna look for a 1911, either 9mm/45acp, maybe a 12 gauge of some sort down the line as well as a 10/22. I plan to do some range shooting, some hunting down the line and obviously for self defense at home. See y'all around the forums!
