moving to CA - what about my firearms?

[husdat]

Ladies and gents,
I am moving to CA from TX. I am awaiting the shipment of my Noveske N4, and plan to get a Glock 19 prior to heading there (among other things). I would like to ask what will become of my firearms. I suppose I can grandfather my firearms? What else should I do in order to stay legal? Thanks much.

To stay legal.......don't come here. You'll hate it.

To stay legal, youll need to make all your semiauto rifles with detachable mags into what is called featureless in California. As far as pistols, everything can come with you with no problem, you just cant bring in any mags that hold more than 10 rounds. That applies to both rifles and pistols. But the pistols themselves can enter without issue. Lots of people moving here buy off roster pistols with the intention of reselling them here well above MSRP since supply and demand (thats one of the few ways for average citizens here to get these off roster models).



btw, if there is any way you can take BigPimping's advice you should take it. I was stationed in TX for 3 years and they were the happiest of my life (despite being stationed in Ft Hood, the armpit of TX). CA straight up sucks donkey balls.

STAY.. AWAYYYYYY

You're in for a real culture shock lol..


Pretty sure you'll need to bastardize your brand new rifle and make it featureless (I'm sure you'll get a kick out of what this entails) in order to bring it in

No handguns with threaded barrels, no magazines of any kind over 10 rounds..

There is a lot more to all of this but no one will be able to really help you unless we know exactly what guns you own.


Just wait for your mind to be blownnnnn..lol

Fixed mag should also work instead of featureless. Your new Noveske is getting is getting bastardized either way.

Get rid of anything not made by Nerf.

WTF, OP - have you lost your mind?

One Word:
Fugetaboutit!

Dont come here dude......

OP, you may as well just melt down your guns before you come here, and take up fishing.

[csshih]

Your pistols will be fine, in fact, I recommend getting whatever pistols you may desire before moving here, as there is a "safe" handgun roster of approved, purchasable pistols that has not been added to in years.

As for your semi-auto long guns.. that's a mess. You'll have to make them "featureless".

You obviously didn't hear about AB5150.

Give all your guns a big hug and a kiss. Tell them goodbye because you will never see them again. Just kidding, I'm serious.

Most pistols are fine, no threaded barrels as others said. But note that Taurus Judge and similar 410 revolvers are banned here.

In case you missed it, turn back now!
