Is a G19 with 15 round mags legal in CA? I'm thinking about letting her borrow my G19. It has 2 15 round mags. Any hoops she'l have to jump through? just probably jail. CA is fucked up - in a car i think you have to have the weapon unloaded and the mag/ammo in a seperate, locked area of a vehicle. others can enlighten if this is incorrect...plus you can only have 10rnd mags in CA to the best of my knowledge. |

I think that all she will be able to "legally" carry in Californistan will be a "Slingshot"and Clay pellets.
 No more than 4 pellets in posession.
And they Must be Biodegradable. |

Car - unloaded and locked up separate from ammo.
Home - no problem. Ask over in the Cali HTF or on Calguns. |

Summary of CA gun laws in the Hometown forum at http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=8&f=11&t=212690
Short version: The Glock is OK but don't bring any magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. |

Leave it at home.. Cali is not really a gun freindly state and if she is not a resident it could end her in some deep shit... It suxs but just the way it is. We did the same thing when we went to NJ and NY, just left it at home.

It's damn near illegal to protect yourself in Kommiefornia. You'll get mixed results depending on where your g/f is going and what cities and counties she will be in.
Ex: A friend of mine lives in Redding, CA and the cops there nitpick and harass John Q Public for anything they can muster up. The department is full of crooked JBTs. My friends uncle works for CHP and they steer clear of Redding PD. That's how bad it is. |

Its a hassle flying with them, but I want the protection they provide, even if I can only legally have it loaded in my dwelling. Dont bring your high caps, pick up a clinton klip or two there, and have a good time. |

Any handgun brought into CA has to be registered with the state within 10 60 days of entering the state. She cannot keep it loaded in her car. She can have it loaded in the home. ETA: Edited for accuracy. Any person who moves into California as a new resident and who brings any pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the person is considered to be a "Personal Handgun Importer". Within sixty days the new resident must do one of the following:
A. Complete and submit a NEW RESIDENT HANDGUN OWNERSHIP REPORT form FD 4010A, downloadable at http://ag.ca.gov/firearms/forms/pdf/ab991frm.pdf , to the California Department of Justice Bureau of Firearms together with the processing fee indicated on the form. B. Sell or transfer the handgun to a California licensed firearms dealer, or to another person through a California dealer, C. Sell or transfer the handgun(s) to a California police or sheriff's department. CAUTION: Some varieties of semiautomatic pistols cannot be brought into California by new residents because they have been classified as Assault Weapons, see CALIFORNIA ASSAULT WEAPONS below. Failure to report imported handguns as required could result in criminal prosecution for violation of Penal Code Section 12072(g), a misdemeanor, with a possible penalty of up to six months imprisonment in the county jail, or by a fine not exceeding $1,000, or by both such imprisonment and fine. In addition, the importer should expect forfeiture of handguns not reported.

Please check the laws. From what I understand from other threads is that the separation of ammo from the locked firearm is not required. The firearm can not have any ammunition attached to it in anyway, i.e. shotgun shell carrier. I also understand you can open carry a pistol as long as the loaded magazine is not contained in or on the pistol. You can carry the loaded magazine on your person separate from the firearm.
Again verify the laws, you can carry a handgun in a locked container on your person or within a vehicle. The glove box does not count as a locked container and the locked container does not need to be in the trunk. The magazine does not have to be stored in a separate location from the locked firearm as long as it is not contained or attached to the handgun. When open carrying a handgun the police have the right under law to inspect the firearm to verify it has no ammuntion within or attached to it. The police do not have the right to do anything more than inspect for an empty firearm. Check the HTF for CA Open Carry Meet thread. |

I knew i was gonna get flak by the way I worded my statement.
 Like it said, YMMV depending on where you are visiting. RIF my friend.
While the it may be perfectly legal to oc or ccw depending on your location (referring to both geological and property) the local LEO's might not like what you are doing and come up with some bullshit reasoning to detain/arrest/fine the ever loving shit out of you. And yes, I do have first hand experience with over zealous JBT's in Norcal. I learned very quickly to not make eye contact, engage in polite conversation, etc unless you wanted to be bitched at, questioned and treated like a criminal for 20 + mins. |
