Here is a comprehensive, plain English guide
to the gun laws in California.
It won't make the laws any better, some of the worst in the nation, but you will be able to understand them.
Don't get caught
or prosecuted for some law you didn't know about.
Own and use your guns knowing you're doing it legally and safely.

The author, Chuck Michel, has represented the California State Rifle Association and the NRA for years,
winning numerous cases, keeping innocent people out of the clutches of the "officials," getting people's
confiscated property back, and fighting the good fight. Now, after years of doing battle in the courts,
protecting our rights and helping to control the gun controllers, he has put his hard-won knowledge
into this book.
It is a step-by-step manual for owning, possessing and using firearms in the "Eureka" state.
Which guns are legal and which ones are not?
How can you legally carry, loaded and unloaded?
What's the truth about using deadly force in self defense?
Where are guns banned?
Who can have a firearm and who is prohibited?
What about magazine size and special gun types?
What's the deal with waiting periods and transfers?
Can you bring guns into the state from elsewhere?
How do you get your guns, or your gun rights back, if authorities take them from you?
California Gun Laws has the answers.
