    "How to Buy Guns in CA" Sources

    I'm a college student in my mid-20s; I've grown up around guns, I've bought a number of firearms and enjoy owning them, utilizing them, handling them, etc. So when I learned that I had to give an 'informative speech' for a class of mine, I decided that I would create a presentation around the process of buying a gun in CA. Especially since I had a bit of trouble understanding all the rules for how to buy handguns/guns in general in CA when I first got started (2nd proof of residence, there's a 10 day wait?, etc.). Of the 9 people I asked whether they were interested or not in buying a firearm, 7 said yes, and none really knew much beyond "I think there's a background check or something?", so it looks like I could at least help a few people out.

    I understand the process itself at this point, thankfully. But, I need "sources" to cite what I already know. I plan on using the Penal Code, the DOJ FAQ page, and maybe the 4473 Form, but I'm supposed to come up with a few more. Does anyone have any ideas as to what else I could cite as a source?

    Have you looked at the CA DOJ website? The process is explained pretty clearly.

    Calguns Wiki is also nice and the PC sources are listed accordingly.

      So being a class you'll want to document your process more than just what some guy says on the internet.

      The California Penal code spells it out.
      The DOJ website summarizes it.

      Anything anyone says here is merely information found in the above two sources.

        maybe even ask a local gun shop to give you a copy of the DROS form and other various forms that you have to fill out when you purchase a gun as a visual example of the amount of paperwork you have to fill out when purchasing a firearm.

        show that it isn't as easy as "walking out with a gun" as the anti's keep saying.

          You're in a California university and you plan to mention the word gun, let alone describe how to buy one?

          Do you plan to graduate?

              Frozen in 2015, it is falling out of date and I can no longer edit the content. But much of it is still good!
