Handgun Legalities...

[rtslave]

Its really not as hard as you think it is. There are alot of options, but all of them require you to get a background check (unless you buy it from somebody in the classifieds and they don't care if you register it). First you can get a "BLUE" card, I think you get these at the police department, if you have one of these($25)you can walk right in to a gun store and buy! If you don't, like the others have said you buy a gun from somewhre else and have it sent to a gun store for a transfer, the 150$ that guy was talking about is psyco, there are stores here that do it for free, just to get you as a coustomer. I see that you live in Cali. so I don't know the specifics. I just bought a gun from a dealer in Tenn. and had it sent to Nevada completly hassel free; also if you have a blue card you can buy handguns at gun shows w/o a waiting period. If you need more info. go to a good dealer in your area (one thats been there awhile).

rtslave - California gun laws are the strickest out of all 50 states. To buy a gun from another person, they have to go trough a fully California licensed gun dealer.

I'll concider myself lucky then! It's too bad a lawbiding person has to go through all this B.S., That topic could start a whole new thread.

website

This is a nice site to buy some nice guns. I also found a dealer in NY that will do transactions for $25. Try Impact guns They have some good specials sometimes. Nice preban stuff also. Another one is KY Imports

I'm Not an expert in California Gun Law's, But a Good rule of thumb is Order the gun from Whoever You can get the best Price from, then have it shipped to your friendliest local FFL licensed Dealer {The Paper trail Must Be Clean}
I dont know about Cali' but up here in Wisco' I've never paid more than a $15.00 paperwork fee for a gun transfer, and most of the time I dont even have to pay that much.

I think we have the most strict laws on every subject and its not fair. We are always the first state to pass a new law then all the other states follow. It sucks.

I'll start off by saying I don't have the luxury of being able to own a great many different firearms due to the laws I have to adhere to.....however if you do what you have suggested in your post.......don't drop the soap

[Mr. T!]

Unless your gun laws are very stringent, buy one through the classifieds in the newspaper, make sure to do it in cash and through a normal person so that there is no paper work, no hassle, and no record. Best of all, no one higher up will know you have a gun....no tracking of the sort.

Okay Mr. T, lets say you had to use that firearm; say someone tried to break in your house and you shot him with that gun...wouldn't you be in deep sh*t?

[WicKeD_WaYz]

better that than let the guy rob your house right?

actually if someone breaks into your house it could be YOUR LIFE. You dont know if the psycho has a gun or knife or what. All i know is if someone comes in my place in the middle of the night they better be able to bust out some matrix **** cuz im gunna have little pieces on lead about 9mm wide commin at em. That my friend is a form of self defense.

EDIT:Mr T. Does your sig show a guy getting shot in the nuts? Its hard to tell...

but if so, LOL!!

[kenndogg]

my concern is if the weapon was illegally bought then charges will be pressed against you and would prolly give the criminal's family a reason to sue you. nowadays the criminals have more rights than law abiding citizens. you have to actually prove that you were in danger.

Yup, I hate it too; when i get old enough, I will try to move out (of this state), but by then, mostlikely many of the California "ideals" will have spread throughout the country. I hope not...
