I have a question that I hope someone out there can help me with. My son-in-law was given our family gun from WWII on Christmas since my father passed away. He was driving home with it on the floor board of his vehicle, unloaded, and was pulled over. The officer took the gun, stating it was not registered. He is a National Guard Member who served in Afganistan, if that matters; they are treating him like a criminal. Does anyone know the laws for a rural community in California and Family Heirloom Guns. Better yet Lassen County. Can anyone please offer any help, information? It would greatly be appreciated.
