NOTE: THIS IS NOT THE MOST CURRENT EDITION. THE 2020 7TH EDITION OF CALIFORNIA GUN LAWS WILL SOON BE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE ON AMAZON AROUND THANKSGIVING. THEREFORE, THE PUBLISHER WILL NO LONGER BE STOCKING ANY PREVIOUS EDITIONS. Updated to cover all the new laws passed during the 2017 California legislative session, the Fifth Edition of California Gun Laws: A Guide to State and Federal Firearm Regulations explores, explains, and summarizes all the new and existing federal and state laws that will affect California gun owners in 2018, including the new regulations for "assault weapon" registration. The Fifth Edition also contains brand new sections that discuss the legality of gun trusts and "bump stocks," and it contains a number of technical revisions, case updates, and expanded explanations of the law. In this long awaited update to the most comprehensive legal guide to California's firearm laws, renowned firearms lawyer C.D. Michel draws on over twenty years of experience to educate gun owners about California's complex firearms laws and the potential legal "traps" into which firearm owners often unintentionally fall. There are over 800 California state statutes regulating the manufacture, distribution, sale, possession, and use of firearms. There are thousands of overlapping federal laws regulating firearms that apply in California. And there are hundreds of administrative regulations, local ordinances, and California Department of Justice written and unwritten policies that also apply. With all of the overlapping regulations, it's no wonder that confusion runs rampant among California gun owners, police, prosecutors, and judges. The Fifth Edition was written to dispel that confusion and equip you with the tools and updates you need to avoid mistaken arrests and prosecutions.
