Know that the States will never stop their efforts to Infringe on the Second Amendment.
If you needed yet another reason not to move to California, a new proposal in the state legislature should make the growing list.
According to a report at CalMatters, Senate Bill 948 would require gun owners moving to California to complete a four-hour course with live-fire training in order to receive the state-required Firearm Safety Certificate — and to register their firearms within 180 days of their arrival. The measure would also require existing state residents to complete the training and obtain the certificate before purchasing any firearm in the future.
Current law requires only a written exam for the Firearm Safety Certificate.
The measure, introduced in a state that already has among the most restrictive gun laws in the nation, was approved by the Senate Appropriations Committee on a party-line vote, with no Republicans supporting it. The only silver lining: the training requirement was cut in half from the eight hours originally proposed earlier in the session.
