Yes, California law is draconian. I swear, next year we will be required to register kitchen knives.

The biggest issue is what you get caught doing with that gun. If you stay out of trouble; most folks, cops, and prosecutors don''t really care about great grandpa's gun, especially a revolver in 32-20.

If you get caught doing anything illegal and you have that gun; you are in deep, deep horse pucky. California prosecutors can use the gun charges to up the ante by a hundred and probably will. And if you're a bad guy, that's OK with me.


I try to stay legal with every transaction I do. I don't need the anxiety or aggravation.
