What a crock of red tape, Federal law allows for the shipment of firearms from and unlicensed person to a FFL in another state but this law requires a letter from the state for FFL to FFL. Tell me again how this is a good law and supposed to help something other stopping out of state dealers from doing business with customers in California. This is my first and last shipment to California, why do the voters do this to themselves.

I live here in the great state of california. I have come to the conclusion that it is a suburb of old Germany the one behind the wall. I live in a small rural area and I dont even have the right to let a visitor stay in my RV for the weekend. I just barely have the right to park it in my yard. I own a 9mil that was given to me by my father. Il be damned if i register it so that later they can take it away, let alone accuse me if there is any shootings with a 9mil in my area. I want to purchase a mosin-nagant but the ones here have been nuetered by having the bayonet removed and other things. [Edited.]

55 years I lived in that state and watched it go nothing but down hill – – In that time I sent a lot of money (taxes) to Sacramento… Hey, I retired there (53) ! I built my house, just the way I wanted there ! I was willing to spend my $$ there, I would finish my life there BUT then the state of California said to me — that 1/4 of all the guns I had legally bought and registered in the state are now illegal…. The key word here is registered! What a FOOL I was… I was sent a letter and told of the guns I had and which ones California NOW deems as Illegal, with their stupid ass laws… I was told, I can’t even sell them, I must remove them from the state or turn them in. AND MAYBE there might be some compensation — Yeah and I got a bridge I want to sell you. I wrote a bunch of letters stating my clean record and all of my top secret security clearances and I feel that if anyone deserved to be grandfathered in, it would be me, after all I had legally bought and registered them in this state… The form letters I received back were a total joke… Oh My gosh, do I sound bitter, I’m sorry…

Well I packed up all my guns and all my money 8 years ago and left…. I’m so so happy I left if just for one reason alone – – is that the people back here are just great…( and they all speak English ) they realize the more taxes you give a politicians the more they will piss away… If they even mention raising taxes around here or screwing around with any gun laws, forget running in the next election that politician might not live to see it.. Believe me when I tell you I just love it here…I shoot out my back door when ever what ever I want…. One time I went back for a 3-day class reunion. I was defiantly ready to leave the state 1 hour after I arrived when I got into a argument with a gas station owner. Oh Well Thank You Calif — for letting me leave……. Art

Hey, Bill Carrell! This is what I was talking about. Intelligetn, pragmatic, workable solutions. No need to try and bankrupt the farmers for the tyrannical behavior of our unremovable politicians.

Thanks, Mike T. It’s nice to know that there are still plenty of gunowners out there who aren’t bustin their own teeth out with their knee-jerk reactions.

Onward and upward!

Bill,
Who needs enemies when you’ve got friends like you? Unfortunately, not everyone has the funds, time, or ability to leave the state in which they reside, simply because the political ball is the other team’s court—at the moment. You sound like the French Jews who sneered at their German cousins ….and then cowered in shame when the Vichy came from them, too. So, until the back begins rolling back toward the side of liberty (doubtful, but possible), why don’t you … try offering some encouragement—to those of us unlucky enough to be stuck here in Nazi Kalifornia.

Kalifornia’s “elected officials” are often on television saying that the are passing laws that will be an example for the rest of the country to follow. Thank the lord that those of us out here in the “rest of the country” are right minded and aspire to avoid the errors and the misstatements of those Kalifornia offficials. –Wishing we could set Kalifornia adrift in the Pacific–

This just angers me. I am a Californian and I just want to reasonably buy some had guns. It is utterly bonkers what the law states. I don’t see any hard core conspiracies afoot, but certainly these laws are a bit irrational. I know California cops had a lot of firepower to contend with, but were all those guns which they had to fight against bought legally anyway?

I just want a replica of the 1911 my grandfather carried so I can protect myself and go shooting. Does it have to be this insane?

I am moving to Nevada.

Well, I just went looking to buy a Smith & Wesson 4006TSW on gunbrokers.com and discovered that most will not sell to Californians. Haven’t bought handguns for several years and did not know about the letter requirement. I just wanted to say thanks to all of those FFL dealers who won’t help us here in California.
You have played into the hands of those who want to restrict gun ownership in this nation, they start here and move across the nation. I checked the website and they have 24hr web access and telephone support. They ask for no more information than the Feds already have. Charge for the hassels, but don’t cut us off.
We have been fighting this liberal anti-gun Democratically controlled state for years while the rest of you stand by and do nothing. Well, we are all in OBAMA land now and he has appointed an Attorney General who will make the USA gun laws mirror California or worse. Remember….United We Stand, Divided We Fall…..
