California Gun Laws Suck

[norcalgunowner]

In Washington right now and finally get to shoot the AR-15 with 30 round magazines. We all know the gun laws in California suck but really. A friend and I were discussing the reason. Well ?. If somebody is going to be willing to go to prison to kill someone do you really think they care if they have a 30 round mag which is going to get them a Felony? A friend brought up. Further frustrating me about Califonia's gun laws. I've had so much fun up here it is making me considering moving out of State to a less restrictive gun law state. California frustrates me. If I'm thinking this now how many other people do you think have moved out of State just for this reason. Further causing the downfall of California's economic state.

The bullet button is another terrible idea brought on by politicians to up their ratings. Think a fixed magazine will somehow save lives. If someone wanted to go on a spree, you think they would give a **** if their weapon was California compliant?

We really don't have a choice on the existing gun laws in California. Do I agree with Assault Weapon Law, 10 round magazine, bullet button, Saturday Night Special, and all other "unnecessary" regulations? Of course not. Let' make our vote count and change it.

I wouldn't move solely because of the gun laws even though they don't make sense and how there isn't a castle doctrine/law here in CA. There are a few other small things here in CA that irritate me, but not to the point that makes me want to move out of state.

Now if I were to get a law enforcement or border patrol agent job in Arizona or maybe even Texas....that'd be a whole different story.

I agree with with you guys completely. Just venting because it makes me think harder just being up here. About to head to Montana tomorrow and check out their laws too. I agree with topgun7 completely. let' make our vote count.

If there's nothing tying you down here, then get away as far as you can! Oregon is amazing for many reasons. Taxes. Gun laws. Beauty abound.

I agree and that's why I moved to AZ. Single, no kids, and landed a better job out here so I can afford a decent life. The gun laws are just the icing on the cake.

I voted yes, but that is under the condition that I am willing to leave friends and family.... not yet.

I do hope to move to a free state soon for many more reasons than gun laws... that will be an added bonus though

I think someone could use a geography lesson.

Bullet buttons weren't politicians' idea. They were attempting to ban all the evil black rifles, and the bullet button was invented by some ingenious folks as a way around the law, allowing us to legally own our black rifles.

And we do have castle doctrine here. Albeit kinda half-assed castle doctrine, but we have it.

Yes, the laws suck, and I'll be out of CA the moment I can!

I'm out of here within 3 months of my EAS. Moving to Medford, OR.

Yep gotta agree! The laws here suck, but I guess it could be worse. The intent at the time was to keep everyone from having any non sporting type of rifle or shotgun. They neutered all handguns to 10 rounds and then made it difficult for handgun manufactures to sell here by requiring testing (big money racket). Lucky for us they were so specific in what they didn't want they listed every non sporting rifle and shotgun of the time. So as time passed new manufacturers popped up and they were not on the list, also manufactures changed model names and then they were no longer on the list. Also some ingenious individuals came up with the bullet button concept to get around the detachable magazine part of the law.

I just had my first taste of shooting a lot and using BB and 10 round mags and it sucked. I have spent all of my life in a free state up until 8 months ago and never realized how good it was having those freedoms. I guess the only advantage of the 10 round mag is I seemed to shoot less and saved ammo because I spent that time loading mags.

Thanks for all the replys. The only thing tying me down right now is my Son. Trying to find the quickest state that doesn't have bs laws to move to with quick access to come down and see him. I grew up in Norcal for 29 years now and have seen California go downhill as far as gun laws and a lot other. I am thankful my father was a Veteran and taught me how to use guns and be responsible at a very young age. Not to say for some others which all of us have to pay the consequences for their actions and these ignorant laws. Best wishes to all I know I will be making a decision soon.

California has got great natural beauty and a fairly mild pleasant climate which keeps a lot of people there and/or attracts a lot of people. But Mercatus ranks CA 48 out of 50 states in overall freedom (only ahead of NJ and NY). I like to visit CA, but it would be tough for me to live there. The state is too involved in the lives of its residents.

I'm here because of the weather and beautiful area I live in.

Certainly not the politics, taxes, and regulations.
