FAQ
In order to bring into California any guns bought or obtained out of state, California residents must have the weapons directly shipped to a licensed gun dealer. Then, before the dealer transfers the gun to the owner, it must follow the procedures for in-state gun transactions, including: a criminal background check.
Pardon from California Governor There is only one relatively certain way to restore your federal gun rights: obtain a pardon. Pardons can be obtained from either the Governor of California or the President of the United States.
California does not honor any other state's permit. California does not honor safe transit laws. If you bring your firearm into the state it must be california compliant and you must follow california laws. That means no threaded barrels, no magazines greater than 10 rounds, no semi automatic rifles. No open carry.
Prop 47 Does Not Restore Firearm Rights A Prop 47 reduction from a felony to a misdemeanor will not restore your firearm rights. In order to restore your firearm rights, you will first need to reduce your felony to a misdemeanor for all purposes under Penal Code 17b, not Prop 47.
Thus, even if you have had a conviction expunged in California, you will still have the ban if that conviction was for a felony or for a qualifying misdemeanor that triggered either a ten-year or lifetime ban on owning or possessing a firearm. Unlawfully owning or possessing a firearm is a crime.
To get your gun rights back you'd need a California pardon based on a Certificate of Rehabilitation and a finding of innocence. This should satisfy the Federal government,though I must warn you they are difficult if not virtually impossible to get. You would have to apply to the governor for a pardon.
However, U.S. Supreme Court decisions of Heller (2008) and McDonald (2010) established that the Second Amendment applies to all states within the Union, and many of California's gun laws are now being challenged in the federal courts.
Out-of-State Guns Must Come Into California Through a Dealer In order to bring into California any guns bought or obtained out of state, California residents must have the weapons directly shipped to a licensed gun dealer.
Yes. A person who lawfully possesses a firearm may transport or ship the firearm interstate when changing their state of residence. If using a moving company, you must notify the mover that firearms are being transported.
