If you own a gun in California this guide is invaluable


A very carefully written and comprehensive guide to CA gun laws. The laws are complex and constantly changing. 492 pages of law summary and explanation. In spite of the law complexity, ignorance of the law is no excuse.

5.0 out of 5 stars As a lawyer in California, I can tell you there is no better resource

Unlike the author, I'm not a big fan of the NRA. I point this out because I want to be clear that my praise of the author comes despite not seeing eye to eye with him. There is just no denying he produces a phenomenal resource. As an attorney, I also know that he gives copies out to both private lawyers and research department's at public defenders offices for feedback. That is, he checks his ego at the door wants the best and brightest lawyers in the state to look over his work and let him know if they find any flaws with it.

Because C.D. Michel is passionate about the topic and strives to improve it every year, this book has no peers. That being said, it might not be for someone looking for a "quick and dirty" guide to gun laws in California. The law is very complex, constantly changing, and sometimes ambiguous. The book prioritizes accuracy over easy to digest soundbites.

But all things considered, it does a great job of making the subject matter accessible and very easy to find topics (wonderful organization, table of contents and index). Because the law is so complex and constantly changing, this is not a substitute for a lawyer in the area. But it is where I start every gun prosecution I defend against.

A guy "A decent guy"


5.0 out of 5 stars


Quite likely, THE authoritative book about firearms laws affecting those who reside in the state of California - 


I read it cover to cover, 277+ pages.


I strongly recommend that anyone residing in California and possessing and/or using firearms and/or explosive devices read this book. Why? Well, largely because the California  state government is one of the most firearms-explosives regulatory intensive state governments in the USA and as such, your chances of having a problem with the government because of your association with firearms and/or explosives is much higher than in most (but not all) other states.


In addition, if and when you have questions like...


**Can I legally transport a long gun (read: rifle, shotgun) in my vehicle's locked trunk if I am not traveling between my residence and a shooting range?
(Answer: Yes).


**I have a firearm in my locked vehicle's trunk, thus it is in a "locked container" as required by state statute. I stop at the grocery store on the way home from the shooting range. I open my trunk in the grocery store parking lot to place the groceries in the trunk. Am I violating the law?
(Answer: Yes you are. The firearm is no longer in a locked container now that the trunk is open).


**When I am lawfully transporting a firearm in my vehicle, must I keep the firearm and ammunition separate?
(Answer: No, but you will likely wish you had should you be stopped by a law enforcement  officer).


**If l open the front door of my residence to greet somebody, is it lawful for me to have a handgun sticking out of my pocket or otherwise on my person (body) and visible?
(Answer: Yes).


**If l am mowing my lawn in the front of my residence (unfenced), may I visibly carry a firearm?
(Answer: No).


...you will have this book to quickly and easily make reference to.


I suggest that you read this book before you make a mistake and are faced with:
1. Possible law enforcement action.
2. Possible prosecution.
3. Possible substantial legal fees.
4. Possible incarceration.
5. Possible prohibition from ever owning firearms again.


Or, don't read the book and have lots of free time while incarcerated to read the book.
