I hate San Diego. I went there two christmas's ago and they tried to put me in jail when a bum tried to assault me on the street. Bummie's friends say I assaulted a woman, so bummie/friends charged me with assault because I attempted to have him charged with assault/attempted mugging/etc.... If only I had my ccw, this would have been over really quick......

The term “assault weapon,” as used in this Section, shall include:
(1) Any semiautomatic action, center fire rifle or carbine which accepts a detachable magazine with a capacity of twenty (20) rounds or more, with a barrel of more than sixteen (16) inches, including but not limited to the following firearms or their copies: AR 15 semiautomatic assault rifles, Uzi semiautomatic assault rifles or carbines, Ingram Mac–10 semiautomatic assault carbines, Ingram Mac–11 semiautomatic assault carbines, Heckler and Koch 93 semiautomatic assault rifles, Heckler and Koch 91 semiautomatic assault rifles, AK– 47 semiautomatic assault rifles, AKM–47 semiautomatic assault rifles, all Avtomat Kalashnikov weapons, M1–A semiautomatic assault rifles, M–14 semiautomatic assault rifles, Thompson semiautomatic carbines and any other semiautomatic carbines manufactured by Auto Ordnance; (2) Any shotgun with a barrel of more than eighteen (18) inches and a folding stock or magazine capacity of more than six (6) rounds; So, if an AR has a 16-inch barrel, and a shotgun has an 18-inch barrel, they are NOT assault weapons? OK... (b) As used in this Section, the term “semiautomatic” means a weapon which fires a single projectile for each single pull of the trigger and which employs a magazine. So, if it's belt-fed, then it's NOT semi-auto?? Ch. Art. Div. 5 3 0 6 San Diego Municipal Code Chapter 5: Public Safety, Morals and Welfare (6-2000) (c) The term “assault weapon” does not include any of the following: (1) Any of the above generally and specifically described weapons which is a “machine gun” as that term is defined by Section 12200 of the Penal Code of the State of California; any pistol, revolver or other firearm which is capable of being concealed upon one’s person, as defined and regulated by the provisions of Sections 12021 and 12025 of the Penal Code of the State of California; (2) Any of the following: weapons which do not use fixed ammunition, weapons which were manufactured prior to 1898, manually operated bolt action weapons, lever action weapons, slide action weapons, single–shot weapons. multiple–barrel weapons, revolving cylinder weapons, semiautomatic weapons which use exclusively Mannlicher– style clips, semiautomatic weapons manufactured prior to 1954, rim– fire weapons that employ a tubular magazine; So a minigun would be OK, then. So would an MP-44 converted to semi. So would a semi Bren. See?? It's not so bad... |

Weirdness. I live in the city of San Marcos which is part of SD county but outside of SD city, but I grew up within the boundaries of San Diego county. One of my favorite gun shops is within the city of SD (California Police Eqiupment, don't let the name fool you...it ain't just police but they mostly offer products officer buy...hence the name. They offer the best deal in the country on Lake City M193.) and sells plenty of stuff that would qualify as an assault weapon under those rules.
I've lived here most of my life and had the opportunity to travel the entire country and visit quite a bit of Europe. It is my firm belief that the original Garden of Eden was either in San Diego County or Orange County. T'aint no better place. |

I would think the same ruling that buggerd the CA AWB as being "to vague" would apply to that one as well. If the State has to list by name all banned firearms, why wouldn't the city? I guess they could be saying the city is not part of the state and already part of Mexico again.

We are fortunate in that, but it doesn't stop a city from passing a constitutionally illegal law and enforcing said law until the city is taken to court over it. Yup, that's the fun game our property taxes are going to... |

Exactly. Who cares what this "law" says? Also, do you know ANY person arrested under this law? Never had a problem at any of the ranges in town, even when shooting with cops. To answer your question though, it looks like it passed in 1989 - the same time as Robert Roos? And while SD is for the most part a conservative city, the city council is full of union-backed democrats.

In NY the AWB never went away, except, AFAIK, the part where a lower had to be a complete rifle before the ban date. At least it's not as bad as some of the other states. I'm still looking to get out, though.

Posted: 3/1/2006 4:21:26 PM EDT

Nope. No NFA goodies for us. SBRs are covered in a law that also covers this strange portion...
Now, if I'm reading that correctly a wall safe concealed behind a picture that holds a pistol could very well get you brought before the court. Weird. I wonder what the original intent of that portion of the law was. Maybe they were afraid of violin cases. |

SD in the late 80's and early 90's was a beautiful seaside village, filled with friendly, outgoing people. When I left in '02, it was getting very hard to tell just where the border was. It's probably the prettiest shithole in the US, though.

No. Read the definition of a camouflaging firearm container in the Penal Code Section 12020(c)(9). (9) As used in this section, a "camouflaging firearm container" means a container which meets all of the following criteria: (A) It is designed and intended to enclose a firearm. (B) It is designed and intended to allow the firing of the enclosed firearm by external controls while the firearm is in the container. (C) It is not readily recognizable as containing a firearm. "Camouflaging firearm container" does not include any camouflaging covering used while engaged in lawful hunting or while going to or returning from a lawful hunting expedition. |

That's already illegal under NFA. I do get annoyed at states - and, CA is by no means the only one - who want to pass laws on something already covered by another or a Federal law. It creates copmplication and confusion. But, it's the greatest proof that the politicians are grandstanding with feel-good nonsense. |

Interesting ordinance - it doesn't outlaw "assault weapons." It merely allows a police officer to take "temporary custody" of one if necessary "for safety." This is actually more insidious than an outright ban. I know what you're asking - Can't a police officer already take temporary custody of any weapon if necessary "for safety"? Yes, but he has to give it back in a timely manner. This ordinance, however, requires the cops to keep the weapon for at least 48 hours.

I'm not aware if any other CA cities have this law, but based on the timing that it was added to the San Diego municipal code in Feb 1989, it was probably a knee-jerk reaction to the Stockton schoolyard shootings one month earlier in Jan 1989. |

IT will be interesting if this is allowed to stand. I don't know if CA has a state pre-emption or not. If it does, then San Diego law will have to be repealed. I'll bet the courts won't want to do that. It's about guns, so the usual rights don't apply; if it were something else, there would be demonstrations in Sacramento already, and some judge already would have granted an injunction.
But, I think the biggest risk is it may follow another course: the antis in Sacramento will try to add this in to the main CA "assault weapon law" to take into account whatever weapons they missed the first time around. It will be a laugh, though a bitter and ironic one, on the smug ones who always say, "See, I have my rifles" when someone criticizes the law, now have to "register". |

It doesn't look like the state preemption applies. State preemption (Government Code Section 53071) concerns regulations relating to the registration or licensing of commercially manufactured firearms. There is nothing in the San Diego ordnance concerning registration or licensing. |

In California a pistol with a detachable magazine forward of the pistol grip (ala AR and AK pistols) is an assault weapon as well. This is a real pisser for some olympic pistol shooters. It's a pretty stong AW low with few loopholes. |

I'm not as current as I used to be, but about five years ago there were around 30-40 lawsuits of this type in various stages of litigation. As to the San Diego ordinance, I have no idea. I didn't even know it existed until today. How would you challenge it, on what grounds? The 48-hour rule? I'm pretty sure SCOTUS has said somewhere along the way that a police officer can take temporary custody of a firearm for his own safety. |

Thanks EOD_Guy. I was not aware that there were any exemptions. Good to know.
AFAIK the San Fran gun ban has already had suit filed. That's the NRA's fight in California at the moment. It seems the NRA focuses all it's power on one suit or issue at a time in each state...which I cannot blame them for doing. |
