BTTT! Thanks for the info!!!

This one is rich:

AB 98 ILLEGAL HANDGUN CARRY - Existing law generally makes it a crime to carry a concealed handgun.

This bill would repeal those provisions and establish the new crime of unlawfully carrying a handgun, as specified. The bill would make it a crime to carry a handgun in a vehicle or upon one's person, subject to exceptions, regardless of whether the handgun was concealed. The bill would provide that unlawfully carrying a handgun is punishable by imprisonment in a county jail not to exceed one year, by a fine not to exceed $1,000, or by both that imprisonment and fine, as specified. The bill would also provide that the offense would be punishable as a felony if certain circumstances exist, as specified. The bill would further provide that in certain instances the penalty imposed would be by imprisonment in the state prison, or by imprisonment in a county jail not to exceed one year, by a fine not to exceed $1,000, or by both that fine and imprisonment, as specified.

So, if you've bought a handgun, then you can't drive it home? You can't drive with it to the range?

AB 352 FIREARMS: MICROSTAMPING - This bill would, commencing January 1, 2007, expand the definition of unsafe handgun to include semiautomatic pistols that are not designed and equipped with a microscopic array of characters, that identify the make, model, and serial number of the pistol, etched into the interior surface or internal working parts of the pistol, and which are transferred by imprinting on each cartridge case when the firearm is fired.

When lawyers think that they're engineers we're in real trouble.

Just when I thought I've seen it all......

[Seaplaner]

This is pretty scary stuff to a law abiding CA resident like me who happens to own a few firearms.

When I can't legally transport my firearms to the shooting range, I would have no issue with moving to a state where I can.

I wonder what new anti-gun law will be the straw that starts to send law respecting gun owners out of California?

And, I wonder if this might eventually have a measurable impact on my state's economy.

(Don't know, of course, just wondering.)

Part of the reason I left California for Idaho was the endless creation of anti-gun laws. It is the reason I will never return.

And, I wonder if this might eventually have a measurable impact on my state's economy.

Anti-gun laws, high disability insurance rates, high utility costs and high rents are driving lots of people and businesses elsewhere. The company parking lot in San Diego was overflowing to two satellite lots in 1999. By 2001, the two satellite lots were no longer in use and the main lot was under 25% utilized. Many of the contracts serviced by San Diego based employees were moved to other states where the cost of doing business was considerably lower.

I do exactly the same work from my home office in Idaho that I did from my company provided office in San Diego. Since I provide my own office, the company charges "off site" rates for my labor. That makes me a more competitive provider of services than someone working from an office in San Diego. My pay is the same as San Diego, so I can live very comfortably with the lower cost of living in Idaho. My mortgage is paid off. I'm using the extra money to acquire investment properties. I just bought a 2000 sq ft home on 1/4 acre with my federal/state income tax refund as the only cash out of pocket.

Concealed carry permits are easy to get in Idaho. You can purchase pretty much anything you want including Class III with the appropriate approvals. My outdoor range charges $35/year for unlimited use. It is a 3 mile drive from the house.

Dang.......this is what we get for legislators these days ?

I've seen better head's on a tick !

[SASsySIGster]

you better get out before it's illegal to transport your firearm out of the country -- ahem -- state
