Question re: CA "registered" assault weapons...

[NavDoc]

Greetings,
I just received my CA military AW permit!! The permit lists the weapons I registered with make, model, ser. #, and cal.
My question is this:
Can I legally switch uppers on a registered AR series weapon if it changes the caliber? ie; It's registered as .223, but I want to put a 9mm upper on it etc.
Thanks in advance...

Let me guess, active US military?

Yes. Active duty military.
Is there another way to get a "CA military AW permit"?

feel free to swap to what ever upper you like...just make sure you are still in compliance with NFA laws.

Enjoy.

And make sure you bring a copy of that AW registration whenever you take that rifle shooting.

(a) Section 12025 shall not be construed to prohibit any
citizen of the United States over the age of 18 years who resides or
is temporarily within this state, and who is not prohibited by state
or federal law from possessing, receiving, owning, or purchasing a
firearm, from transporting or carrying any pistol, revolver, or other
firearm capable of being concealed upon the person, provided that
the following applies to the firearm:
(1) The firearm is within a motor vehicle and it is locked in the
vehicle's trunk or in a locked container in the vehicle other than
the utility or glove compartment.
(2) The firearm is carried by the person directly to or from any
motor vehicle for any lawful purpose and, while carrying the firearm,
the firearm is contained within a locked container.
(b) The provisions of this section do not prohibit or limit the
otherwise lawful carrying or transportation of any pistol, revolver,
or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the person in
accordance with this chapter.
(c) As used in this section, "locked container" means a secure
container which is fully enclosed and locked by a padlock, key lock,
combination lock, or similar locking device.

hahaha. how long did it take once you sent it the forms?

Took me three days to get my paperwork back from DOJ. I had to call them several times though to push it along.

So let me get this straight, if a person is Active duty military, they can register a "military" AW? What is "military" AW? Do you have to surrender AW when you leave the military?

[oakiepokie]

Never mind, I googled it and it says person must take it when they leave the state.

[NavDoc]

It has been three months since I sent in the paperwork!

A CA military AW permit allows for the registration of "assault weapons" (as defined by the CA DOJ) by active duty military members. The weapon/s must have been purchased prior to receiving orders to CA. Once the servicemember leaves the military, they must relinquish the forbidden weapons (according to CA law) if they wish to continue to reside within CA. Or keep them and leave!

I'm glad I only sold half of my "banned" weapons prior to moving out here!! Now I know better.

California does suck in certain regards.

But you should look up some of the firearms laws in other states (New York for example).



Some of them almost make California laws look good!

Call them and ask about its progress. I had to call a few times. Finally, the last time I called, I got someone that was actually helpful. She pushed it through and the paperwork came in the mail in a few days.
