Is my xd cal legal?

[dalriaden]

I'll be moving to california soon and have a .45 xd that holds 13 rounds, is it legal if i only bring the 10 round magazines? I checked the roster of handgun certified safe for sale but I'm unsure of the exact model number I'll also be bringing my kimber desert warrior and unfortunatly leaving my hk model 91
Thanks for the help.

You are exempt from that roster as a new resident of CA. Just remember to register the handguns.

Firearms Information for New California Residents
Handguns

Any person who moves into California and who brings any pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the person is considered to be a "Personal Handgun Importer" and is required to do one of the following within 60 days:

Complete and submit a NEW RESIDENT HANDGUN OWNERSHIP REPORT form along with $19.00 to the Department of Justice. A separate report form and $19.00 fee is required for each handgun reported. NEW RESIDENT HANDGUN OWNERSHIP REPORT forms can be obtained from California Department of Motor Vehicles' offices, licensed firearms dealers, local police and sheriff's departments, the California Department of Justice Bureau of Firearms at (916) 263-4887, and from the Online Forms Page at this site.
Sell or transfer the handgun(s) to a California licensed firearms dealer or to another individual using a California licensed firearms dealer to conduct the transaction.

or
Sell or transfer the handgun(s) to a California police or sheriff's department. Persons choosing this option should contact the law enforcement agency for instructions prior to transporting the handgun(s) to the agency.

Any person transporting handguns in California is required under California law to transport those handguns unloaded and in a locked container other than the glove compartment or utility compartment of a vehicle.
SHOTGUNS AND RIFLES

California law does not require persons moving into California report rifles or shotguns. One important thing to be aware of though is that certain rifles and shotguns may be defined as assault weapons in California and are prohibited from entering this state under most normal circumstances. Additionally, machine guns and ammunition feeding devices with the capacity to accept greater that 10 rounds may not be transported into California.

Please be aware that failure to comply with these mandated handgun requirements could result in criminal prosecution (Penal Code Section 12072(g)).

awesome thank you.

you are good. Just dont bring any high(standard) capacity mag into the state. either leave them or take them apart and bring them in as rebuild kits. Before you come you should buy whatever pistols you want that are not on the approved roster because once you are here, it becomes harder to get them.

Harder, and more expensive. Imagine $868 out the door for a P30 out of state vs, what are they paying for them here, 1100 bucks or something like that?
