Bad news looming.
We have a couple bills out there that look bad,

If you don't get them sign up, worthwhile IMO.

NSSF Action Alert
California Assembly Committee to Consider Anti-Gun Bills Tomorrow

Contact Members of the Committee TODAY

Tomorrow morning at 9:30 a.m., the California Assembly Public Safety Committee will consider a number of anti-gun bills, including: AB 1663, AB 1664, AB 1673, and AB 1674. Below is a brief description of each bill.

AB 1663 would expand the current definition of assault weapon to include any semi-automatic firearm capable of accepting a detachable magazine. AB 1664 would ban the use of a "bullet button," which requires a tool to be used in order to remove the magazine from the firearm. AB 1663 and AB 1664 would unjustifiably ban the future sale of many modern sporting rifles commonly used for hunting, firearms training, including hunter safety training, and marksmanship practice.

AB 1673 would redefine firearm in the California state code to include any "unfinished" receiver or frame that can be "readily converted" to a functional frame or receiver. The problem with this proposed language is that it could potentially include a simple block of metal.

AB 1674 would expand on California's one handgun per month law to prohibit the acquisition of more than one firearm per month, including both handguns and long guns.

NSSF has already submitted letters of opposition for the overreaching and unnecessary proposals, and will have a representative present at the committee hearing to testify in opposition. However, the committee members need to hear from you. Please contact the members of the Committee on Public Safety and respectfully urge them to vote "NO" on AB 1663, AB 1664, AB 1673, and AB 1674.


For those of you in CA time to right your Legislators yet again. (Don't know how I missed seeing these earlier)

Mods, I looked but did not see any copyright notice or anything about reprinting/retransmitting but I may have missed it. (I did look)
 
I got this a few days ago and already wrote all the people on the committee. If the first one passes it's going to give me a push toward moving to a different state.
 
Why don't they just say any steel tube not affixed to a vehicle is illegal, instead of picking away at gun rights piecemeal?

I've kinda missed Ca. for the last 11 years - seems I got out just in time.

I guess soon, the only to protect yourself in ca. will be to hire the thugs who have all the illegal guns.
 
Old Lady, plenty of room in AZ, if you need it. Hopefully someday California can be helped back into the light.
Thanks for the inivitation. :)

I am looking in AZ and also NV, which I discovered is a shorter drive. (I have some responsibilities in CA that I sometimes have to physically be here for, and I don't fly any more.)
 
Old Lady, if you move to AZ and don't like the summer heat (100 +), you'll need to look to areas around Sedona and Prescott for moderate weather.
If you like it colder, Flagstaff is good.

Thanks for the tips, I'll check those out. I have cousins in Scottsdale but that's way over my budget.

Depressingly but not surprisingly, 1663, 1664 and 1674 passed. 1673 was postponed.

from the email I got from the NRA:
On Tuesday, March 1, the Assembly Committee on Public Safety passed three anti-gun bills and postponed a vote on the fourth. These egregious anti-gun bills are of serious concern to gun owners, sportsmen and Second Amendment supporters.

The following anti-gun bills passed the Assembly Committee on Public Safety by a party-line vote of 5 to 2. These bills will now move to the Assembly Committee on Appropriations. Supporting the bills: Assembly Member Quirk, Jones-Sawyer, Lopez, Low, and Santiago. Opposing the bills: Assembly Member Melendez and Lackey.
 
This is really a pity. California used to be a great state, and a place people all over the country desired to move to. Since becoming a one-party state, that has changed. It will be interesting to see an entire state turn into Detroit, but very tragic.
 
Yeah, I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for 4 years in the 1960's.
It was still ( to me at least) the Golden State then. These latest gun restrictions are absolutely incredible when you see so much of the USA heading in the totally opposite direction gunwise.

With West Virginia yesterday adding to the Constitutional Carry total.Now at 7.

I still love California to visit, but even that is becoming emotionally difficult, the way that Paradise is being plundered and destroyed.
 
Sadly, with family in California (a state in which I lived for eleven years), I go there frequently. This will be interesting, what with being required to observe applicable laws even when carrying under LEOSA ... One would presume the sales of S&W revolvers will be strong ...

It will be interesting to see an entire state turn into Detroit,
Why are so many posters so compelled to insult Detroit when seeking comparisons? Clearly, this one doesn't know anything about Detroit, which is far friendlier to law-abiding gun-owners than California.

Because Detroit is a hot mess -- shrunken in half from its peak population, broke, half the city in ruins, with trees, switch grass, and coyotes reclaiming much of it. And it too is a one-party territory; has been for longer than California.

It may have less restrictive gun laws. In just about every other way, it's just farther down the same path that California has firmly set its feet upon.
