Compliant or Register

[Dump1567]

So does that mean you can't modify the registered assault weapon? Like change the upper, stock, hand guards? Changing barrel length or caliber? I'm just trying to clarify. I was planning on registering most of mine but want the ability to change them up a bit in the future.

You can change whatever you want (within the parameters listed above). I was mostly referring to something like a Arm brace on a pistol. These have been a "gray area" in CA prior to the DOJ approving them through AW registration. But your local LEO might think it's a stock. That's where a picture of how it was registered might come in handy.

There are no laws from stopping the reconfiguring of a registered assault weapon.
There is a regulation requiring you to keep the bullet button.
Regulations are not laws though.
You get arrested for breaking laws.
You can not be arrested for breaking a regulation if there is no supporting law for that regulation.

As with others, registering post 2014 guns that meet AW criteria. Pre-2014 guns will be compliant. I may or may not have all the uppers with brakes and duplicate 80% lowers they don't need to know about.

Would moving uppers around between AW and featureless pose any issues?

Can we still engrave home built guns with our own serial and info without requesting one from DOJ?

[warbird]

why not do your own engraving unless you are reporting them to DOJ and registering them with the DOJ? Maybe engrave a one finger salute with a serial number after it? (LOL)

I converted my Vast collection of 3 ARs to featureless.

My thinking (and this could change) is I can pass 1 each to my 3 sons.

[WarBoyNux]

I don't need guns. The government protects me.

[Wordupmybrotha]

I will just add that whoever came up with the idea of adding silly parts to rifles to make them compliant, and then at the same time allowed the removal of the bullet button is an idiot for purely practical reasons.

How do you figure? Seems brilliant to me for figuring out a way to get rid of bullet buttons and not having to register the rifle.

+1, even if I have to break my rifles in half and use a baseball bat for home defence I refuse to register a sporting rifle as an "Assault Weapon" especially one with a fixed 10 round magazine. Like common, that's a joke. It only flies because of the nutty democrats. They literally have made California it's own country and have gone unchecked for too long.

I know they're going to go too far, and at this rate it'll probably be within the next six months, and for sure the next 3 years. All this media pandering to the gun-grabbers is giving them confidence to overstep the line they've been toeing on for a long time.

They'll order a total ban on RAW's like Deerfield did. If you don't they'll hit you where it hurts and that's your pocket. They'll tax you to death, withhold registration for your vehicles, whatever it takes.

Then they pass another AW ban just like Mass banning all "scary" looking rifles, leaving only the mini-14 & the M1A so they can say they didn't ban all high-powered semi auto rifles.

If we don't vote these people out, and if California doesn't wake up with all the craziness that's going on, things are going to get dark and fast. Stay woke.

You need to ask yourself this simple question:

Do you trust the polititians in Excremento with your gun rights?

[SISKIN]

WELL it's a good thing i have few mimi-14s

That's not entirely accurate. The cops can arrest you for whatever they would like to, regardless of the underlying law. There are many cases where someone is arrested for "resisting arrest" with no other charges on the ticket.

The PD will wind up buying you a new house when they settle the lawsuit that follows, but lawsuits take years and you'll likely lose your job and be put through the wringer on the local news as a "evil" person.

Put it this way, the way this state is going... Which do you prefer being stuck with if switching features is no longer an option? Theres no positive side registering unless you really love having bb, transport restriction, and tagged as having legal definition of aw red flag.

Every calgunner should be aware of the fact that the legislature did already pass a ban on all detachable mag, semiauto rifles back in 2013. This included Mini14s and M1As.

The only reason why it’s not in force is because Gov Brown vetod it.

Yes, this bill is certainly coming back after the new Governor takes office; featureless rifles are not “safe.”

My view is that it makes sense to register at least one or more post-2014 registered BBd rifles as AWs. If there is a ban and confiscation of AWs, there is little chance that the legislature does not also act against all registered semi auto rifles. If there is no confiscation, there is some utility to having RAWs.

I went compliant because I don't want to deal with the registration process. I already know they know what I have so that wasn't a factor in not registering, just don't want to jump through the hoops.

There still has to be a PC section that someone violates to be arrested. "Resisting arrest" (148(a)(1)PC) is an arrest able section by itself. No other charge is needed.
