    Moving to Cali...

    Ok I am new to this forum and I really haven't dug too deep yet for the answers to my questions so I am just gonna ask them straight out. First here is a little about myself. I am moving from East-NM/ West-TX to Bakersfield, CA. I was in the active duty Army and now I am in the Nasty Guard. My wife put up with all my Army **** and while I was off playing in the sand box she finished her Mech Engineering Degree and now works of Chevron as a Facilities Engineer, hence the reason we are moving to Cali...... Ok now the why I am here, the guns.

    I own a lot of NFA/ Class 3 items that I know I cannot bring and I have done some research of what specific weapons are not authorized so I have arranged for those items to be stored in a safe deposit box in NV. I am also aware of high capacity rules and such. But what I am confused about in the registration of my "authorized" guns, more specifically in regards of pistols. I would like to bring my SW99 (chambered in .40 S&W) and would like that to be my open carry weapon. Of course I will NOT be using high-cap mags but what do I need to "register" my pistol to allow me to have it in Cali.

    I would love any information, tips, hints, links, etc about gun ownership in Cali.

    Just as a note I will only be in Cali for two years so I plan on maintaining my NM residency (which is where all my guns have been purchased and where I maintain a NM CHL) but I will maintain this residency status for tax and vehicle registration purposes, just to put that out there if that changes anything.

    Thanks -Out here

    Well, welcome to Cal Guns. I honestly don't really know what the requirements for this state are since I am not a resident either (Active Duty Military) but I am sure that someone that knows the laws better will answer your question. If not, go to the CA DOJ BoF website and call their firearms division on Monday, they should be able to give you or guide you to the right answer.

      Why are you moving to Bakersfield, of all places? The pollution there is the worst in the country...
