Quickly Make an AR15 CA Legal?

[Hayduke]

Hi,

While visiting Quartzsite AZ and shooting my Colt 6920 AR 15 with 30rnd magazines I was invited to join friends in Blythe for dinner.

I am aware the 6920 is illegal in CA but understand it is the lower and magazines pose the crux of the problem. The safest place for the AR is locked up where I know it is; in a very secure case in my vehicle in my sight. Back in a motel not a safe place.

What I have considered is leaving the lower in said motel room in AZ along with magazines and bringing the upper locked is said case to CA for the evening.

I guess the best bet is to stay out of CA but failing that will bringing my upper pose any issues? I assume bringing the lower even if locked separately with no ammo or magazines is still a felony in CA.

Any other advice for those of us who have occasion dangle a toe in CA how to stay put of jail? It occurred to me I'll be heading to Vegas in a few weeks an the direct route does a few CA miles. My research indicates having said AR even if locked in separate inaccessible locations constitutes a felony.

Thanks!

Safe is upper only. Magazines and lower should stay in Arizona.

Be well

A guy got busted for bringing an AR with no BB and tannerite into the state.

Any explanation of why particular lowers are illegal? I know they carry the serial number and roll marks but as far as I know they are identical to any AR15 lower that is legal in CA right?

Is it really just the markings?

Wouldn't surprise me!

Thanks!

You could go to a local gun store in AZ, pay a fee and have them store it while you are in CA.

If it is an original 6920 that exact model its banned by name in CA. If its a 6920CA then it is OK (assuming it has a Bullet button installed)

To hell with California. Take the 95 north to 40, then east on 40, then north on 93.

According to Googlemaps, its 214 miles if you go through CA and 235 miles if you go take my suggested route. Id happily spend an extra 15 minutes and $2 on gas to avoid the headaches this commie rats nest will impose on you.


I love Quartzsite. I keep all my non-CA approved toys out that way. People here think Barstow BLM trips are fun but when I take new friends to Quartzsite its like discovering a whole new dimension of reality for them lol

Can be. We have 3 different "classes" of AWs. Law enforcement doesn't even know what is what.

A partial rifle is not a weapon as long as the pieces are not at hand and can't be assembled easily. It's just parts.

Are you planing on speeding and getting stopped?

When you buy a stripped lower they put a lock on it to leave the store.

^^^ Unless you fill out safe affidavit. Mags and lower stay in az.

Unless it's a banned lower.
