Effective January 1, 2002, no firearm may be sold, transferred, or manufactured within California unless that firearm is accompanied by a DOJ-approved firearms safety device (California Penal Code section 12087, et seq).

Does this mean people who manufacture lowers or do any builds are required to ship them with DOJ-approved safety devices?

No, it means you have to buy a lock or sign an affidavit that you own a safe.

The part I'm confused about is it says "...manufactured within California unless that firearm is accompanied by a DOJ-approved firearms safety device (California Penal Code section 12087, et seq)."

So doesn't that mean the manufacturer is required to ship a firearms safety device or they are not in compliant with that section of the penal code?

it's complicated.

A manufacturer who manufactures, say, a stripped lower receiver, has manufactured a title 1 firearm by Federal law, but has not manufactured what is recognized as a firearm according to that particular penal code section.

So for the purposes of that section of law, a stripped lower receiver manufactured inside California, is not a firearm. I believe even a complete lower receiver wouldn't even be considered a firearm. Even though they are title 1 firearms.

ahh, that makes a little more sense to me, thanks for the clarification...
