California Gun Laws: A Guide to State and Federal Firearm Regulations (2020 7th Edition)

Updated to cover all the new laws passed during the 2019 California legislative session, the Seventh 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 2020 or soon thereafter, including, but not limited to, the new restrictions on the sale and transfer of firearm precursor parts, the change in the costs of obtaining licenses to carry concealed firearms, the increase of firearm transfer fees, the new firearm storage requirements, the expansion of exceptions to certain firearm transfer and carry restrictions, and the new limits pertaining to the purchase of semiautomatic centerfire rifles, as well as the number and types of private party transactions allowed to Californian gun owners. 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 25 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 Seventh Edition was written to dispel that confusion and equip you with the tools and updates you need to avoid mistaken arrests and prosecutions.
