I will be going to NV soon from CA. Any issue bring my Colt HBAR Elite AR? Or more likely coming back?

[bwiese]

No issues going to NV. Coming back...

1. As long as your rifle is not listed, you're OK (Colt "AR15", Colt "Sporter", "Sporter Target" and "Match Target" are all banned by name. If it's another Colt you're OK, as it's not listed.

2. As long as your configured feature suite is OK in CA now, as well as on your return back into CA, you're OK.

3. Enjoy your visit to a free country.

Forgive the slight re-direct, but in the case of a guy coming from out of state with a listed and unregistered AR to be used at a competition, is his only option to fly in with it, go straight to the range and back to the airport for departure?

In other words, the non-CA resident cannot drive from Vegas to the shoot and return without fear of some variant of the Dominguez mishap, right?

AFAIK no one has really tested that yet.

Thread-jacking makes baby jesus cry, and causes the undue suffering and eventual deaths of dozens of kittens.

Please think of the kittens.

You are good to go here in Nevada. You can drive around with it in your car (mine's in the trunk), with a loaded mag inserted, nothing chambered, as long as you are not hunting.

I am unaware of any California exception for competition or training. If there are any, someone please advise, there is a class or two in CA that I may want to attend.

Pretty much - and I'd even question that - coming thru an airport.

In theory he could drive straight in & out. No overnights, no side shopping trips, etc.

It really is best used for a defense. And the shooting match must be formally sanctioned by a recognizable organization - which means the Lower Hayward Roller Derby League Memorial Tin Can Shoot doesn't count. So that essentially means a scheduled NRA or CRPA match.

I believe nobody should rely for daily conduct on the so-called 'AW competition exemption' because it's so poorly/vaguely written.

Also, this purported exemption does NOT exempt importation of hicap magazines.

There are urban legends that out-of-staters have applied/gotten short-term AW permits for "transit days surrounding the competition" but I am not sure whether these are apocrypha or not.

I have it in a nice locked pelican case. If the Facists border guards request that I open the case, Can I Refuse?

We have border guards? I don't know what justification they could have for searching a pelican case, but they could probably think of something.

There are no border guards, wheredja get that crap from?

Drive with your rifle in a case, in your trunk.

Brother in Law from NV stated when entering CA they can search for fruit and such.

Don't have fruit. Don't look like you have fruit.

If asked, "Are you bringing in any fruit?" say no.

Your right againts illegal search & seizure and 4th amendment rights are not waived for fruit & veggie inspectors.

If you have pre-2000 high cap magazines that were originally grandfathered in here in Kalifornia, then took them across to Nevada, I could imagine you might get busted coming back. If you're going to a shooting event, I've heard stories of CHP officers ramping up their "random stops" when they know a gun show or shoot is wrapping up and lots of CA residents are coming back across the border.

[edwardm]

If the CHP, or any other LEO, were to do that, it would make for an interesting case.

Possession of pre-2000 standard caps is not prohibited.

Importation of standard caps is prohibited, but assuming all ducks are in a row and no other side issues arise, it's up to the State, not the defendant, to prove importation of non-pre-2000 mags. That's made even a bit more difficult for the State as the law specifically allows re-importation of standard cap mags possessed in CA pre-2000.

I go to/from NV all the time with guns & hicap mags without worry.
