Actully, your cars are registered and there are certain criteria and restrictions on what can and can't be registered. Plus, there is something called a SMOG check that has to be done in certain intervals otherwise your car can't be registered aka legally driven.That’s a load of crap. As long as the handgun is legally registered, which is a whole different issue, why can’t we add it onto the CCW permit.
IMO the whole listing my firearm on the CCW is also BS, I don’t list the cars I’m driving so why is it that I have to list the firearms that I’m legally able to carry?

Sure but you can lower it, add wheels, exhaust, tint, and a tune, and it will reg and pass SMOG so not really sure of the point you are making here.Actully, your cars are registered and there are certain criteria and restrictions on what can and can't be registered.

Honestly I wouldn’t get a CCW. CA just wants to restrict your rights and doesn’t want people to have firearms to protect themselves. Any government that is actively trying to disarm its citizens has something evil up their sleeves. When it comes to carrying I would just act like a normal American

Another reason this makes no sense is because manufacturers let their products fall off the roster after they are discontinued. You can buy something that’s on the roster, list on your CCW, then have it become off roster if it goes out of production.The policy makes no sense if one understands the Roster. Every gun on the Roster today will fall off the Roster on 1/1/27, unless the mfg pays the price to stay. While these fees are usually paid prior to the new year, some are not, resulting in a period when the gun is off roster then added back.
Additionally, since the mfg can decide at any time to discontinue the Roster registration, a licensee could begin their 2-year period with an on-Roster gun and at the 1/2-way point be carrying a non-Roster gun.
The odds here are that the agency has mis-read SB 2 to mean "On-Roster" when it says "Recorded owner".
The article is wrong and those “crimes” are misdemeanors. Or course the media would be misrepresenting facts when it comes to a self defense shooting in SF haha.i guarantee he is thankful he was carrying that day otherwise the outcome would be much worse.Trying hard to be law abiding citizen and don’t want to be in this position

San Francisco Muni shooter acted in self-defense, attorney says
A man who shot and killed a passenger on a San Francisco subway commuter train will be charged with gun crimes but not homicide in what was “clearly" a case of self-defense after he was attacked with a knife, his attorney said Monday.www.ktvu.com
I haven’t had as much as traffic ticket for over 10 years. I sure don’t want misdemeanor on my record. You do you brotherThe article is wrong and those “crimes” are misdemeanors.

2 are bone stock and 1 has a reddot (Hellcat Micro) and I checked with LASD and they said it was fine.I know I am in the minority here (and elsewhere) but my 3 CCW guns are bone stock.
Yeah my worry is more what could come up in a Civil Case (which will come after a shooting) or even a Criminal Case where some liberal Lawyer/DA standing in front of a Jury spouting off . . .2 are bone stock and 1 has a reddot (Hellcat Micro) and I checked with LASD and they said it was fine.
You know at least it says "previously approved" not "no mods". They are saying it has to be in the condition you qual'd with. Still annoying but not a huge deal I guess
Most of that is highly illegal in CA lmfao. They even scan your PC and fail the car if it has a tune now.Sure but you can lower it, add wheels, exhaust, tint, and a tune, and it will reg and pass SMOG so not really sure of the point you are making here.
This is dumb af, sorry. Being arrested and going to jail SUCKS. Then you will lose your gun rights for at least ten years as well. Just pony up the few hundred bucks and enjoy the classHonestly I wouldn’t get a CCW. CA just wants to restrict your rights and doesn’t want people to have firearms to protect themselves.

I don't think this is accurate. I got charged with carrying without a license, carrying within city limits and poss. of AW when I was in the Navy, got the felony AW dropped to a misdemeanor and the carrying charges dismissed in the interest of justice, and Sac Sheriff didn't really care and issued my permit. Wasn't even a big deal in the interview. I also had a TRO filed against me by my ex gf, in which the judge denied the full order, still got CCW.Being convicted of concealed carrying without a permit even as the misdemeanor portion of the wobbler results in a ban on your ability to own/possess firearms for 10 years. Not to mention once that's on your record you're absolutely going to face an almost impossible battle with any future IAs after that ban expires should you try to go the legal route of applying for a ccw.
Yes, this all sucks and restrictions are unjust, but we play within the rules as they are currently. Not to mention the USSC has confirmed that licensing schemes are legal so we're out of luck on that piece for now.
