CD Micheals of CRPA wrote this about the CA assault weapons ban (SB23) in the September newsletter to members:



What 2001 legislation is he referring to?

Link ?

It was an ammendment to SB23 that added section 12276.1(b) to the law exempting 18 named target pistols from the law.  These are pistols sanctioned by the International Olympic Committee for Olympic competition,

Here's the official site for California law and bills and such:

Most of the data is dynamic, so you have to enter your own search criteria each time you use it.

The bill was AB 2351 from the 1999 - 2000 legislative season.  Here's the list of handguns that were outlawed by SB 23 then un-outlawed by AB 2351:

Thanks guys... I could find that info on Lockscum's DOJ website. Now how about the DCM competitors like myself? Is it legal to grant exemption to one class of competitive shooters?

I feel your pain, stator, but the exemption for the Hammerli, etc. pistols was done in response to emotional appeals from young shooters who have Olympic aspirations.

In other words, it was done For The Children.
