Glock ban moving forward in CA

I think its kind of like being on double secret probation.

Plenty were added to the registry prior to 1986. I never suggested anything different.

Thanks for the info. I did not know that any add on Glock switches were ever on the registry. Can you share any more details?

I was speaking about the ones produced in China and sold on Amazon/eBay over the last 10 or so years.

No, I was addressing the DIAS that was referenced upthread with a picture of the advertisement. Some of those made it onto the registry.

There are no Glock switches on the registry, and I never stated that there were.

That’s a pre ‘81 DIAS. It occupies a very strange niche in the realm of “legal” parts.

I did not know that. There is good info out there for people willing to learn!

California is absolutely gorgeous. Get out into the mountains.. Drive up 395 from Mojave to Tahoe through Lone Pine and Bishop… Mono Lake.
Go to Borrego Springs or Joshua Tree, Yosemite, Lake Isabella..,Sequoias…, take your old pinned and recessed Smith & Wesson and shoot out in the desert.
That’s what California is about.
Don’t worry about the politics. Politics are for the city.. the cities are where the people are.
More people means more rules.
Get out into the sticks and into the desert and no one cares what you’re doing.
Those are the places to go.
I do not care for cities or plastic guns anyway.

I grew up out this way; my friends and I used to go shooting in the deserts outside Ridgecrest quite frequently. As long as you weren’t out by Wagon Wheel and had a good backstop, no one cared a bit. In a lot of ways, CA (especially out in the deserts) was and remains considerably freer than Texas, in that you can just go….go out, go exploring, go live or ride or camp or wherever and rarely, if ever, see another person if you don’t want to. Texas ain’t like that; every few hundred yards is a fence and someone else’s little piece of Texas that ain’t yours to go on. Kind of like a big aquarium vs a bunch of little ones.

What they did care about a lot was fire. Don’t start one, don’t bring stuff to start one, and if you do start one, better hope it’s in a safe manner and be ready to own it. Too many idiots starting fires in silly places is a good lesson to us all.

Sadly, that California isn’t as static as I remember. My grandpa lived up in Windsor/Santa Rosa and seeing the homeless problem ruin Polliwog Park (Santa Rosa) and the other places I grew up in was absolutely tragic.i don’t know who to blame, if anyone- I don’t think Newsom or anyone else deliberately sought to “ruin” the state and the NIMBY and bleeding hearts certainly had motivations that ran in their heads; the unintended consequences are what we see now and no where is immune.

I personally don’t think I can ever move back to California, but that has nothing to do with guns at all, more an objection to how they lock my profession out of some really important lifesaving therapies that are routinely performed in other states but can’t be done there because of regulatory capture by the nursing lobby and idiotic doctors who assume the entire state is minutes away from hospitals all the time.
