Californians and Legal experts please help,
Sometime later this year I will be moving from my beloved Kentucky to lovely southern California and my new duty station...yippie. I was stationed in the state three years ago but, honestly had no idea what was really legal in the state and what was conjecture and 'sea-lawyering' and what was actual law and fact. So if you have first hand experience and knowledge please help me out. I was on the California Bureau of Firearms website trying to find out if I could own things like my M&P Pro that doesn't show up on 'Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale' so long as I don't sell it there. The wording seems to me that I can
Effective January 1, 2001, no handgun may be manufactured within California, imported into California for sale, lent, given, kept for sale, or offered/exposed for sale unless that handgun model has passed firing, safety, and drop tests and is certified for sale in California by the Department of Justice. Private party transfers, curio/relic handguns, certain single-action revolvers, and pawn/consignment returns are exempt from this requirement.
but, I also have not read every statute. So if you live there and know the rules of what I can bring into the state please help me make this move.
Also, what are the best places to shoot in and around San Diego?
Thanks
