Updated to cover all the new laws passed during the 2018 California legislative session, the Sixth 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 2019, including the new registration and engraving requirements for self-manufactured or self-assembled firearms, the ongoing problems with California's new "assault weapon" regulations, and the implementation issue with REAL IDs and how they affect your ability to acquire firearms. The Sixth Edition also 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-five 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 Sixth Edition was written to dispel that confusion and equip you with the tools and updates you need to avoid mistaken arrests and prosecutions.
