Updated to cover all the new laws passed during the 2016 California legislative session, the Fourth Edition of California Gun Laws: A Guide to State and Federal Firearm Regulations explores, explains, and summarizes all the new laws and existing federal and state firearm regulations that will affect California gun owners in 2017, including Proposition 63 and the new revisions to the definition of an “assault weapon.” 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” that firearm owners often unintentionally fall into. 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, Bureau of Firearms written and unwritten policies that also apply. With all of the overlapping regulations, it’s no wonder that confuse runs rampant among California gun owners, police, prosecutors, and judges.
