    The projected BIG ONE

    Will Brown or his replacements confiscate our guns when the 9.0 hits?

    The likelihood of a massive earthquake in the United States within our lifetimes is high. And it's not just the West Coast that's at risk

    Why would he? No he wouldn't and most folks would never give them up anyway. That's absolutely out of the question for millions of Californians.

    There would be dozens of more important issues to tend to if a big quake hit California.

      Until Katrina I would have said that the authorities would have other things to worry about...

            Powers of the governor:

            https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/f...r=7.&article=3.

            8571. During a state of war emergency or a state of emergency the Governor may suspend any regulatory statute, or statute prescribing the procedure for conduct of state business, or the orders, rules, or regulations of any state agency, including subdivision (d) of Section 1253 of the Unemployment Insurance Code, where the Governor determines and declares that strict compliance with any statute, order, rule, or regulation would in any way prevent, hinder, or delay the mitigation of the effects of the emergency.
            (Amended by Stats. 1990, Ch. 1474, Sec. 1.)

            8571.5. Nothing in this article shall authorize the seizure or confiscation of any firearm or ammunition from any individual who is lawfully carrying or possessing the firearm or ammunition, or authorize any order to that effect, provided however, that a peace officer who is acting in his or her official capacity may disarm an individual if the officer reasonably believes it is immediately necessary for the protection of the officer or another individual. The officer shall return the firearm to the individual before discharging the individual, unless the officer arrests that individual or seizes the firearm as evidence pursuant to an investigation for the commission of a crime.

            (Added by Stats. 2007, Ch. 715, Sec. 1. Effective January 1, 2008.)

            8572. In the exercise of the emergency powers hereby vested in him during a state of war emergency or state of emergency, the Governor is authorized to commandeer or utilize any private property or personnel deemed by him necessary in carrying out the responsibilities hereby vested in him as Chief Executive of the state and the state shall pay the reasonable value thereof.

            Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, the Governor is not authorized to commandeer any newspaper, newspaper wire service, or radio or television station, but may, during a state of war emergency or state of emergency, and if no other means of communication are available, utilize any news wire services, and the state shall pay the reasonable value of such use. In so utilizing any such facilities, the Governor shall interfere as little as possible with their use for the transmission of news.

                How would they know where to go if you have home machined and built, and also keep them in different locations? Not me of course, but let's just say.

                  question??? there was a you tube videos wherein there was a mass confiscation in NO (New Orleans) during the Katrina aftermath.

                  In case, just incase... it happens here in CA, what is our recourse?

                      How many guns do you think were seized in New Orleans?

                      As some folks have said above, I don't think people appreciate how difficult a true mass confiscation would be, especially in a state as large as CA and with urban centers as dense as LA. Right after a major natural disaster would be an extremely difficult time to pull it off unless you think the government wants to intentionally trigger massive violence.

                        Sorry, but the harsh reality is that when we are struck with a cataclysmic seismic event law enforcement and first responders will be so over loaded with other things the last thing they will be thinking about if taking our guns.

                          In total they had 552 confiscated according to NOPD.

                            The tin foil love is strong with some in this thread.

                              I don't think Brown would - but I do believe Gavin would try.
