What permit / paperwork to do moving into CA

Send this in with $19. Must be sent within 60 days of importing the firearm as a new resident. Report all firearms, no need to report ammo
You can't bring any assault weapons (see flowcharts below) which include bullet button featured rifles anymore, and no mags over 10 rounds.

Note however that ARs, AKs, etc., must now be converted to a featureless configuration or sold before you get here, and magazines can't be over 10 rounds capacity.
But that's just as of this moment; other things to be aware of are that the Democratic party has a supermajority in both houses, controls every state executive office, and recent legislation in a practical sense effectively prohibits anyone but a Democrat to run for office, so it's likely that we'll soon look back on this as 'the good old days'.Comment

The only things you need are:
1. Obtain a valid CA DL.
2. Submit a New Resident Firearm Ownership Report (BOF 4010A) with a $19 check/money order within 60 days of bringing the firearms into CA.sigpic

Nope.
By far the safest is to do the conversion before you cross the state line.
The risk is a charge of importing an 'assault weapon'30600.
(a) Any person who, within this state, manufactures or causes to be manufactured, distributes, transports, or imports into the state, keeps for sale, or offers or exposes for sale, or who gives or lends any assault weapon or any .50 BMG rifle, except as provided by this chapter, is guilty of a felony, and upon conviction shall be punished by imprisonment pursuant to subdivision (h) of Section 1170 for four, six, or eight years.ARCHIVED Calguns Foundation Wiki here: http://web.archive.org/web/201908310...itle=Main_Page
Frozen in 2015, it is falling out of date and I can no longer edit the content. But much of it is still good!Comment

I smell a troll. Why is it that all the threads you start ask questions about what you should do about all your firearm related stuff since you're moving to CA?

Because I am, and I have no interest getting charged by a zealous local DA. Having a firearm-related issue on my record does not look good on a resume, doesn't it?Comment
