I am wondering if someone could give me a "nutshell" explanation as to CA requirements for handguns? I will be spending some time in CA, I have become a resident, driver license, registered to vote, did vote, so I am a resident. however I have not retrieved my pistols or rifles as I am concerned about ownership, it is my understanding that I must register my guns with the local authorities, is this so? I am not looking for any free legal advise, just ideas as to what I should do. what are the requirements to sell or purchase handguns? any & all information will be appreciated, I do know CA is not what one would call a "Gun friendly state" I would also like to know which organizations I could join to oppose these laws, Thanks again
