    CA DOJ files latest version of 'assault weapon' regulations 5/18/2017

    And, to quick inspection, not much of the text that raised objections has changed. Still wants to apply the fixed magazine language to shotguns, without apparent statutory support. Still wants to keep 'bullet buttons' on registered guns. Still wants those registering to provide photographs...

    Moving guns, the 2016 thread

    Numerous Californians are announcing plans to relocate. I'm trying to find info to add to Calguns, for the cases where the number of guns is large-ish, so flying with them is impractical, and the distance is so far that the drive will take at least one overnight stay - perhaps requiring...

    Creating a CCW-training-friendly public gun range

    A variant on the 'where can I go train' issue. If I understand the issues correctly, it seems that 'ordinary' practice facilities generally disallow * drawing from a holster * use of multiple targets * movement while firing and some other things that seem to be helpful are also often...

    Physical letters to Congress delayed up to 2 weeks

    Walking through the House of Representative sites for the CA delegation the other day, I came across a notation that 'snail mail' letters are subject to security screening (remember 'white powder' in envelopes from a few years ago?) and are subject to delayed delivery. At this stage of the...

    Minimum set of handgun self defense competencies

    Given carrying a handgun for self defense, what should one be able to do with it? Now, that's obviously not all of SD, but what I'm interested in is something like 'when I go to the range with my handgun, what are some drills I really MUST do well ?' For example, it seems to me that a SD...

    CA Ammo law - AB 962 - overturned in court 1/18/2011

    The law is stayed before the Feb 1 2011 implementation date. This means the face-to face requirement, which effectively would have stopped internet and mail order sales, is not going to happen.
