Don’t Become an Accidental Criminal

Having firearms for self-defense, sport, and hunting is your individual constitutional right. But exercising that right carries extraordinary responsibilities. Along with your responsibility to know and follow safety procedures, you have an obligation to comply with all applicable state, federal, and local laws. Pre-order your copy of the California Gun Laws: A Guide to State and Federal Firearm Regulations today! It explores and explains the California laws that affect firearm owners.

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. And there are hundreds of administrative regulations, local ordinances, and California Department of Justice Bureau of Firearms’ written and unwritten policies that also apply to California gun owners. With all the overlapping regulations, it’s no wonder that confusion runs rampant among California gun owners, as well as among police, prosecutors, and judges.

On top of this already byzantine regulatory scheme, on January 1, 2012, California’s firearms laws were completely reorganized and re-numbered. Because of the complexity of the laws, inadvertent violations by well-intentioned good people are increasingly common. In the politicized legal environment of California “gun-control” laws, the consequences of even an inadvertent violation can be severe.

To protect yourself, you need to know the law. This book will help. Don’t become an accidental criminal! California Gun Laws: A Guide to State and Federal Firearm Regulations tells you how to legally buy, own, transport, and possess firearms; when it is legal to use deadly force; and what firearms and devices are banned or require registration. This book warns about common legal “traps” and troublesome “gray areas” that California firearm owners often unintentionally fall into and ensures that those who are subject to these complex firearms laws can avoid violating them. This book helps educate those tasked with enforcing the law about firearms laws so that they can avoid mistaken arrests and prosecutions.

Watch For Future Legal Updates

While the vast majority of information in this book is up-to-date, both state and federal firearm laws change throughout the year due to new legislation, litigation, and regulatory actions. To address these changes, and to cover more specialized topics that are not addressed in this book, the authors routinely issue legal updates and memoranda which are generally free for anyone to access here. Additional updates can also be found on the California Rifle & Pistol Association’s website at www.CRPA.org.

Also, please subscribe to our eBULLETins to receive updates about the effect of legislation that is proposed or enacted. By subscribing you will also receive updates throughout the year on any new lawsuits that change the law.

In the event of significant changes in the law, a new edition of the book will be published as necessary and appropriate.
