You get back a document from the Cal-DOJ stating the that the firearms are registered. It's a good idea to have these docs or copies of these docs with you at all times.
However, when you shoot on private ranges, the range masters don't ask as long as you are following the rules. You do, however, get the idiot know-it-all who walks up to you and says, "Hey, isn't that illegal to shoot in PRK?" |

AW[s] is specifically restricted by the Roberti-Roos AWCA by penal code 12275 .10 How you may notify the CADOJ of disposal .11 and any questions can be answered by calling a certain number. Alex |

[b]You are NOT required to carry your registration papers with your gun[/b], unlike, say, an NFA gun. Your gun's info is entered into the DOJ's database, and if they have any question about your gun, they'll run it and see if it's registered. They'll usually do this whether or not you have paperwork.
Of course, if you DO carry the paperwork, and somehow there was a screwup in the database, it *might* (or might not) keep you from getting your rifle taken and/or going to jail. -Troy |

Makes me wonder where all those unregistered AW's in California are being shot. Those who live in rural places have a better opportunity to shoot in private. It'd be a shame to have an AR and be afraid to take it out for some range practice. I hope the recent ruling helps out in some positive way.

I shot a High Power match a few weeks ago where I was one of only 2 civilians among approximately 25 LEO from all over CA. Most from SF and LA. They all knew I was not LEO and was shooting an AR. All were nice and not a one ever asked if I had registered my AR. Some did mention that they thought it was one of the most worthless pieces of BS law to ever pass.

If you're shooting your AR (or other Roberti-Roos or SB23 AW) on a public/municipal range, your papers may well be required. Such ranges are often administered by Parks & Rec rangers (with police powers) or sherriff's dept.
At the public range I know of (Coyote Pt, in San Mateo) you won't shoot if you don't have your papers. Could even lead to it being "called in" - so only bring those reg'd guns. -Bill San Mateo, CA |

I have to say I almost feel bad for you guys. ALMOST!!! We'll I feel bad for the folks that can't afford to move out of that state. The one's that choose it I just don't understand. Maybe someone can tell why you would want to live in that kind of environment. If financial reasons were not a concern would you still decide to live in that state.[uzi]

I ran my reg letter through my scanner and shrunk it down to about 3x5 size and keep it in my case. It isn't required to show your papers to anyone, possibly the DOJ. If there was a range which required it I'd be inclined to push it and not show it. Let them call Law Enforcement and force them to file a complaint. Then you should have action against them. Do they ask every person if they are in legal possession of their firearms or did they single out you? They are not Law Enforcement and should be very careful about accusing people of crimes.

AWs in question (by the police) are supposed to have their serial numbers ran. -Troy |

I received mine in May and thought that that was way too long. How many people in this state have not received their documents yet? |

Quoted: ...We can be pretty sure that they aren't finished as there haven't been any numbers announced. The DoJ has no obligation to announce any numbers, and I'd bet a pint of Guinness Stout they won't. It would be too embarrassing to the Legislature. Did they ever formally announce the number of registrations under Roberti-Roos? I don't believe they did. |

Quoted: I heard the DOJ sent these individuals letters stating they'd be contacting them as there was an issue with the registrations and they were stuck on the bottom of the pile. If I was one of these individuals, I'd still take my gun to the range and enjoy it. Of course, I still see people almost every weekend I go out shooting there SKSes with detachable mags -- "But officer, I swear it's an AK-47/Saiga." We can be pretty sure that they aren't finished as there haven't been any numbers announced. I sent mine in for 1 gun on January 23, the absolute last day. Inquired as to wtf was the paperwork in April. At that time, DOJ lady allowed that she thought applications without "problems" would be finished by late fall; those with issues would probably be finished by end of this year or maybe a month or so into 2002. hanko |

If you have the proper proof of registration and you don't have a copy in your possession when traveling about with your firearms, you are an idiot. If the serial numbers can't be run due to some technical difficulty, the weapon may be seized until it can be verified that it is registered. |

I know it's not required to carry the registration papers with you although I do have a copy in the buttstock of the AR's.
I also carry my drivers license, my California CCW, and my California hunting license. I like to cover all the bases when I'm out with my firearms so as to leave little room for bullshit. |

I talked to a fellow at the DoJ a couple weeks ago and he said it looks like the final number of registrations is going to be about 50k.
Far cry from the .5 to 2 million AW's out there. The guy also said it was a real shame to make people go through this BS as it is going to do nothing for crime. Good to here stuff like that. |

Quoted: Shucks Alex, If I answered that question, I might be admitting I don't have dem paperz yet. I'd say 2, for sure. I heard the DOJ sent these individuals letters stating they'd be contacting them as there was an issue with the registrations and they were stuck on the bottom of the pile. I am one of those unfortunate individuals whose registration has been on hold by the DOJ. But as of 9/24/01, I will be the proud new resident of IDAHO! Screw Kalifornia. Chris |

Did California pass the assault weapon buy back bill? I heard only a very small percentage of assault owners registered those rifles.
