Hello, my name is Frank and I am from Imperial in Imperial county California. I wanted to extend my salutations to all the members here at calguns. I have been browsing the forum for a while now and decided to join. I wanted to start off with a question. I recently acquired my 03 FFL license and am saving up money to go to a gun show in yuma, az in november. my question is, I know I can buy a c&r handgun and bring it here and then register it, but how can I know which c&r handguns can be brought here? I have the booklet from the ATF that lists all c&R firearms, but is there any restrictions from bringing any handguns back here besides the 10 round magazine limit? or are all c&r handguns exempt from the safety test and/ or roster list? Can I bring any C&R handgun back here? I have seen several websites that have c&r handguns for sale and some of them say, "not for sale in ca". Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

Hi I am a frank too,
You have it pretty well stated 10 rd limit and on atf list. Cali has another issue that of 50 years on c&r long arms not sure about handguns. Someone else may chirp in. I got a cz82 whih has a 12 rd mag but dealer sub a 10 rd for his cali customers. Also self register within 5 days.

A good place to start looking may be here:
And or do a search for C&R under that subforum. Someone may also know of a wiki that may help...Comment
