There's no ruger mark series on roster, therfore they would have to be purchased ppt or brought into the state by a out of state resident moving here, or exempt persons from roster. Any mark iv brought or bought in the state has to have no threaded barrel as its part of the reciver, only exemption on this would be pin and weld the muzzle device to the barrel/reciver, therfore making the threads non operational.

You could buy it off-roster with no threads at about 100% markup.

Most MkIV do not come with threaded barrels. Yes some do, but the majority do not.

Without threaded barrel they are legal here. Unfortunately you cannot buy one from a dealer (unless it is on consignment) and you cannot import one unless you have direct family out of state to gift it you.

You can buy one from a private party who is a CA resident and who you meet face to face at a CA FFL. You may also find one on consignment at a CA FFL. I bought one that was sitting on the shelf on consignment.

Are threaded barrels separate from firearms legal to posses in CA, barring any constructive possession arguments?

Yes, they are legal to have just not legal to install on semi auto pistols that have removable magazines. There are exemptions for named Olympic pistols, where they can be installed.

Can a 22lr be used (legally) for concealed carry?

Typically not allowed by "Those That Issue Permits", but does not hurt to ask.

Can a 22lr be used (legally) for concealed carry?

Some agencies allow it (IIRC Yuba County is one), but many do not.

This is the answer I was looking for. Thank you for speaking the language.

What is the reasoning? Because 22lr is the most lethal caliber because of the ricochet effect?

It's almost the end of the year but we have a late entry to the "Dumbest Thing Ever Posted 2021" and it's a very strong contender.

What? Where is this gem from?

The Robert Kennedy assassination. I am open to hear all counter arguments

It was so lethal it took over 24 hours to kill him, and none of the other people wounded died. Kind of takes the steam out of that point of view on .22 lethality, doesn't it? Never mind that he was talking right after he was shot. Also remember that Reagan was shot with a .22, as were three others, and the only person who died as a result of that shooting was Brady, 28 years later.

.22 is far from the most lethal caliber. I'd bet that the vast majority of people consider it ineffective for serious self defense. Remember Kennedy was shot at near contact distance in the head, with bullet fragments entering his brain. It's also entirely possible that the surgery to remove the bullet fragments actually was a contributing factor in his death.
