    New! Calguns Foundation Wiki FAQ section

    http://wiki.calgunsfoundation.org/index.php/Frequently_Asked_Questions


    The point here is to answer the EASY, SIMPLE questions. These are intentionally very short, as close to a one screen display as I could get.

    The full, complicated, including every exception and every nuance articles are in the main part of the Wiki; I tried to reference those sections for each of the FAQ pages, so if someone needs the gory details, they're available

    Right now, has these:
    • How do I legally transport a HANDGUN?
    • How do I legally transport a LONG GUN?
    • How do I legally transport AMMUNITION?
    • How do I legally transport a REGISTERED “ASSAULT WEAPON”?
    • What is a REGISTERED “ASSAULT WEAPON”?
    • What is an OFF LIST LOWER (OLL)?
    • Where can I HAVE A FIREARM?
    • What FIREARMS ARE LEGAL IN CALIFORNIA?
    • How do I get a CONCEALED WEAPONS LICENSE?
    • How do I BUY A GUN?
    • Can I BUY A GUN OUTSIDE CALIFORNIA?
    • Can I BUY A HANDGUN NOT ON THE “ROSTER”?
    • Can I BUY/SELL/OWN AN UNREGISTERED FIREARM?
    • What is an INTRAFAMILY TRANSFER?
    • What is a PRIVATE PARTY TRANSFER?
    • What are AGE LIMITS for …
    • What is UNLOADED OPEN CARRY (UOC)?
    • Where can I read the PENAL CODE for FIREARMS?
    • Where can I read COUNTY and MUNICIPAL CODES?
    • What about KNIVES?
    • What about MAGAZINES?


    It also has links to several good Calguns threads, and a couple of DOJ products.

    If you have corrections, comments, more questions (and answers!) to add to the collection, I'd love to hear them.

                  Sure. Can you answer that in about 3 sentences?

                  I know the general answer is 'yes', but I don't know much else about that.

                      How about:

                      It is legal to make your own firearm for your own use, provided the one you build is legal for you to own in your state/municipality. There is no legal requirement for serialization or registration as long as you build a non-NFA firearm. You may not make a firearm with the intent to sell it, unless you possess a valid manufacturer's license.

                      or something like that. that covers most of the bases, but not all the nuances, in keeping with the stated intent of the FAQ.

                          Let's see, what does BATF say:
                          Access Denied
                          http://www.atf.gov/firearms/faq/faq2.htm#a6

                          (A6) Does the GCA prohibit anyone from making a handgun, shotgun or rifle?

                          With certain exceptions a firearm may be made by a non-licensee provided it is not for sale and the maker is not prohibited from possessing firearms.

                          However, a person is prohibited from assembling a non-sporting semi-automatic rifle or non-sporting shotgun from imported parts.

                          In addition, the making of an NFA firearm requires a tax payment and approval by ATF.

                          An application to make a machine gun will not be approved unless documentation is submitted showing that the firearm is being made for a Federal or State agency.

                          [18 U.S.C. 922(o) and (r), 26 U.S.C. 5822, 27 CFR 478.39, 479.62 and 479.105]
                          and they have a PDF The summary looks good to me.

                          Anything else on the topic important?

My buddy and I recently went shooting and he shot corrosive yugo ammo through his Mosin and figured he could just piss in the barrel and call it a day. Several days later the bolt was rusted shut but I guess the fouling wasnt TOO bad.

                                          So, the Wiki FAQs have been up for three months now.

                                          What did I miss? What has happened in that time that needs an FAQ posting? What should be fixed? What would make the FAQs better?
