It's just this simple paragraph:

I'm not sure what to make of this... got my letter in the mail today, but the Tavor SAR and Galil Ace SAR rifles that I submitted with manufacturer IWI both have manufacturer as IMI on the letter. Anyone else get the same thing when submitting as Isreali Weapons Ind.?

Yeah I had the same thing happen as well. I went back and checked my submission and confirmed I had selected Israeli Weapons Industry as the manufacturer. I'm not sure why they replaced it with IMI. Anyone know if they are doing this for all IWI items? Did anyone get IWI (and not IMI) on their approval letters?

In case anyone missed it, CGF (et al) filed suit against DOJ a few days ago, regarding the website failures during the final week of the registration window. The suit seeks injunctive relief by giving those who missed the deadline a second chance to register.

I wouldn't hold my breath on a successful (or timely) outcome from this suit, but it's worth knowing about at any rate.

How many people is that really though? I get they are doing the suit for the sake of doing it but realistically the cross section of people who wanted to register but couldn't and those who will follow this suit is like maybe 10.

There's also the "wait, so you're telling me I was supposed to register this thing 2 weeks ago? I thought it got registered when I bought it!" crowd, that would get a second chance. But ya, I can't imagine there's more than a couple hundred people this suit applies to.

I wish them success nonetheless. A win in court is never a bad thing.

I dont know, judging from the posts on this thread alone prior to the deadline I suspect its higher than 10

So concerning joint registration. Can you add a new joint registrant to an existing registered gun say if you re-marry? Spouse dies? Were never married to begin with? Isn't it to facilitate your spouse getting rid of them anyway in the event of your passing instead of rando people finding them in your ghost house.

Nope. When the online-only form was taken offline on 7/1, there is now no way to add anyone as a joint registrant ever again, unless someday we get a pro-2a legislature and AG who decide to start allowing it. Might have to wait a while for that

After our registrations are finalized and the letter arrives in the mail, you can not modify your AW registration information ever again - with the sole exception of voluntary de-registration.

Finally was contacted by the DOJ and I was emailed:

Thank you for submitting your application. Based on the photos provided, the caliber of your firearm is 5.56MM. Please correct your application to reflect 5.56MM as your caliber. Refer to California Code of Regulations, title 11, section 5474(b) for more information: https://oag.ca.gov/sites/all/files/a...let-button.pdf

I believed Cocked's guide stated it's best to go along with what the lower/barrel stamping says but in the comments be sure to note that the gun can accept interchangeable barrels/calibers.

[Exiledviking]

"Caliber: .... If the receiver has a specific caliber marking, then select that caliber from the list. If you enter a specific caliber, note in the comments section that "Barrels are interchangeable with other calibers"."

I WAS headed to the range tomorrow UNTIL I called the DOJ compliance line this morning.

They told me I can't do anything until I receive an email or a letter in the mail....good thing I called first.

Interesting...

We pretty much assumed that, but this is the first I've heard of DOJ confirming it to someone.

It would also be interesting to hear their opinion on how we're supposed to store our guns while we wait for the letters.

I was going to ask, but she was a total @$$H0LE..."Sir, I can't tell you what to do with your firearm..."

I'm not surprised about the attitude they gave you.. it's a shame. The couple of times I've called it's been the same cold shoulder response... in their minds, they really feel they're talking to criminals on the other side. The simple idea of owning a legally acquired firearm just doesn't click in their mind.

it's a shame... that's California for you .. sad
