This might be a dupe, but apparently Smith and Wesson is letting their M&P pistols fall off of California's DOJ Approved List. The article also says that Ruger is letting ALL of it's pistols fall off as well.
Link----> http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2014/01/robert-farago/breaking-smith-wesson-mp-pistols-fall-ca-doj-approved-list/ I guess that anyone in CA that wants an M&P should hurry up and get it soon...

So how does that work for our Cali residents? Is the gun allowed if in possession before it dropped off the list, or do owners have to get rid of them now?

And if you own then and move to cali you are good to go to as long as you have mags under 10 rounds. If you really want something in Cali that is not on the hand gun roster you can have a good dealer do a single shot conversion for you where they install a 9inch barrel and a single round magazine. You can then convert it back to a proper pistol after you have possession. |

I guess if they all fall off the list, it would ruled be unconstitutional, de facto ban on pistols, mainstream defense weapon guaranteed by the constitution.

IIRC, some recent stats showed that CA is in the top 3 states for dollars spent on firearms.
Maybe some of those dollars will go to fixing that broken state. In the mean time, I hope that manufacturers will lose the CA-specific crap features on their guns. -Lee |

Until the loophole is closed because the publicity afforded to that particularly clever " work around" will be substantial, since it will be used to sell guns from major manufacturers who intentionally stopped bowing down to the state in order to sell their product in California. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:

And any change, even just a cosmetic one, to a pistol on the list makes it a "new model" thus requiring a complete test battery on it. As an example, Springfield Armory 1911s. In the "Loaded" line, there's a Stainless model, and a Black Stainless model. Identical, pretty much, except the Black Stainless has, well, a black paint-like finish on parts of the slide and frame and black overmolded stocks, whereas the plain Stainless model has polished slide and frame flats (just like the Black version) but instead of the coating on the rest, it's bead-blasted and bare metal (IIRC). And it has wood stocks. CA considers those otherwise identical pistols to be different models, for purposes of the "Safety Roster." Meaning Springfield has to submit several samples and pay the testing fee for both of those, separately. Even though they're the exact same pistol aside from the finish (or lack of) and stocks/grip panels. Same with blued vs. stainless steel, or FDE/tan versus black polymer, different sights, etc. And the test fee runs to, if I remember right, a pretty decent sum, and the samples submitted are retained by CA-DOJ, some of them for destructive testing. |

The DOJ list has the M&P certifications expiring at different times throughout the year, not in 60 days. I am a little suspicious of the source. A random gun shop's facebook page is not exactly a press release from S&W.

It's the same story for ruger, walther, and sig. On the S&W page it lists 13 guns set to expire sometime this month out of a total of 297 on the list? That is a small percentage, and from my experience is fairly normal. Handguns come on and off the list fairly regularly. I am not sure what the lag time is from expiration/approval to the site being updated, but I cannot imagine the CA DOJ having a fast turn around. The article cited by the OP could be right, but they misrepresent when the M&Ps are set to expire, which raises a red flag. The source's facebook also lists some M&Ps 45s for sale, and that people better get them now while they can. This sounds a little bit like Classic Arm's "No More AKs" sales pitch. Like I said, this might be a true story, but let's not jump to conclusions just because its on the internet. |

The people that frequent the store I work at are their own worst enemies. We have Police who want the disarmament of people, and then ask for a discount. Then we have the people who think 10 (or less) round magazines are just fine, because they can't see themselves shooting that much ammo. We're like gun priests, listening to people confess all of the laws they break on the constant. Don't tell me this shit. Cops are some of the worst. An Arfcommer came in today and was trying to pick up his black friday lower and was having difficulty because of issues with proof of residence. Do you have a Driver's license? HERE'S YOUR GUN. All I wanted to do was fucking HAND HIM THE LOWER. This 10 day waiting period is lunacy. |
