Is it Starting Now?

How is this legal? This is taken from a Facebook post form D-14 hunters group. How do you answer this question? This is disturbing activity from CHP. OP doesn't state a reason for being pulled over.


"And here is a good one from last week: we were going on a scout trip with our atv's and my relative was pulled over in Nor Cal ( Jeffrerson State) the CHP asked if he had any AR's and if he could check and if anyone were unserialized. (Ghost guns)Which ours were legal. We asked what do you do if you find them . He said he has the discretion to confiscate them and set you a court date. We were very cooperative so he was great. So I guess the key is always be cooperative to your wardens and peace officers".

Stay calm and invoke your 4th and 5th amendment rights to the tyrant's anti-2nd amendment questions.

The law hasn't gone into effect yet. How are they going to enforce a law that hasn't gone into effect? If it is happening, and not just a story, somebody who knows the law needs to smack them down.

More than likely a bs story

More than likely a bs story

How can you say that? There is no mention of art work, a gym or a backpack.

More than likely a bs story

^^^ This.

A little more info,
They were trailering some ATVs to scout a D zone and was stopped for doing 63 with a trailer. He said they were polite, compliant and allowed CHP to see what they had. Said CHP left with a warning to slow down after seeing that the ARs they had all had SN#s. Could be B.S. I actually hope so.

Seems legit that court date could turn into a Cops worst nightmare.

quite often things are up to the officer's discretion, and whether they know/care to know those specific laws (or lack thereof.)

A good customer of mine who works for Richmond PD and is a stand-up guy as far as I can tell, told me that any time he encounters someone in possession of a high cap magazine he "charges them with a felony." When I tried to explain to him that currently possession of a legally obtained standard capacity magazine was not illegal, he reiterated "felony, every time." Not sure how that works, but I'm sure it's not cheap for the "arrestee."

Not a stand up guy in my eyes if he is going to charge a felony. That means someone gets locked up, arraigned and bail set unless the judge throws it out or reduces to a misdemeanor or infraction. The D.A. also can opt to reduce. I wonder how many hi cap mags he owns for his patrol rifle. He obviously believes in a 2 class system of firearms ownership.
