[8D] Hi guys {and Ladies} I will be moving to California and I was told that a couple of my guns don't or are not on some list for the state ??? I have a Taurus 940 and the I quess it's not on this list, So what I'm to do with this gun just toss it in the trash ??
I was told that if I bring it in to the state it is illegal to have and it's a felony. This sounds like bul*sh*t. Can someone please
help with the right info. I don't want to loose my guns.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS ?????
Thanks

You will have to pay to register your firearms but I think you can bring in guns that are not on the list. Not sure so be sure to ask that question.
Forgot to mention that you also have to be concerned about "assault rifles" & magazines over ten rounds you can forget, no way.

I believe there is something about LEO's being exempt from the CDOJ list when purchasing.
My point? If my brother was moving to CA from PA, I'd be sure he owned a copy of this Para I, and I'd talk him out of it. Some of your weapons may be worth more here than there. Here's the one I want: http://www.paraord.com/pages/law.html#745
The form Mark mentioned?
It is a Report of Handgun Ownership Form?(New Residents) available as a .pdf from
http://caag.state.ca.us/firearms/forms/index.html
It is currently $14 per handgun.
This site will bring you up to speed regarding CA state law. County laws can be different: http://www.nraila.org/media/misc/ca.htm
It was Miss"B"s idea, she wants to run around in a thong,[:0]{I don't
know what that is ?} but she will like it I guess, So until next time
Thank You you all,,,

If you are a new California resident and you own a handgun, you must report it or dispose of it within 60 days.
Effective January 1, 1998, any person who moves into California and who brings any pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the person is considered to be a "Personal Handgun Importer" and is required to do one of the following within 60 days:
Complete and submit a Report of Handgun Ownership form along with $14.00 to the Department of Justice. A separate report form and $14.00 fee is required for each handgun reported. Report of Handgun Ownership forms can be obtained from California Department of Motor Vehicles' offices, licensed firearms dealers, local police and sheriff's departments, the California Department of Justice Firearms Division at (916) 227-3703, and from the online forms at this site.
Sell or transfer the handgun(s) to a California licensed firearms dealer or to another individual using a California licensed firearms dealer to conduct the transaction.
or
Sell or transfer the handgun(s) to a California police or sheriff's department. Persons choosing this option should contact the law enforcement agency for instructions prior to transporting the handgun(s) to the agency.
I sold the last house I had without a realtor (my next door neighbor bought it for his daughter) & cleared about 50% profit in five years. This is in Riverside county & the prices are much worse in Los Angeles, Orange & San Diego counties.
