Live free or die hard. The state does not have a catch for us out of state guys coming in with our high cap mags & non aproved guns that we legaly own in our own state.

It is ilegal to 'sell', give away, trade or louse any of our mags. I have not check in the past two years but the Steel Challenge has some good links for info too.

You can bring an "assault pistol" (a racegun with threaded barrel) into CA, if you're going to a match. You still can't bring "assault mags" with you.

Jamie,

I am with you on the mags but what do you mean by "non approved guns"?

Can't comment on the laws in California. I have recently become very familiar with those in the state of New York.

It wasn't. Let's just say it is far cheaper to know ALL the laws before getting to your destination.

"non aprpoved "as is guns that the state of Califonia has tested= not on the list of Califonda tested -Drop test- guns & the treaded barrel guns

The Link you provided is the best thing - Mike neads find out for certainI can't quote the place that I read about high cap mags form out of state

[uscbigdawg]

Hey dude,

You can bring any firearm, tested or not into the state (non-NFA weapons). No high-cap mags though. You can even register them legally (handguns and most long guns) in the state, if you're moving from out of state.

Yup,

What Rich said. The list is just for guns for sale. You can bring most anything in , you just can't sell them. Or more correctly, we can't buy them. Mags are a problem

read section 926A of the federal gun control act.

TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 44 > § 926A Prev | Next

§ 926A. Interstate transportation of firearms

Notwithstanding any other provision of any law or any rule or regulation of a State or any political subdivision thereof, any person who is not otherwise prohibited by this chapter from transporting, shipping, or receiving a firearm shall be entitled to transport a firearm for any lawful purpose from any place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm to any other place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm if, during such transportation the firearm is unloaded, and neither the firearm nor any ammunition being transported is readily accessible or is directly accessible from the passenger compartment of such transporting vehicle: Provided, That in the case of a vehicle without a compartment separate from the driver’s compartment the firearm or ammunition shall be contained in a locked container other than the glove compartment or console.
