Met a couple gun guys from CA

[GAGunguy]

I ran into a couple guys over Memorial Day weekend, one of them was wearing a "I will not comply hat." I struck up a conversation with them, and they are from CA and are gun owners.

One of them said that the LEO's/Range officers/etc cant keep up with all the different silly CA rules, so they just do whatever the feel like doing as far as modifing their guns cause nobody checks or even knows what the correct rule/law is, so everyone just shrugs and looks the other way.

Seems like the more complicated the rules are, the more difficult they are to understand and enforce or at least that was what I took from our conversation about whats going on in CA.

Struck up a conversation with a guy on a cruise from upstate NY. Sounds like same same. Nobody complies and the rules don't seem to be enforced or law enforcement doesn't care.

Active LE and military are exempt if it's an issued weapon and isn't modified from what was issued

Lived there 4 years as AD, 4 months civie now im compliant with license as a carrier and ccw. Whats the question? Or just observation? Also im tx, fl, GA compliant. Compliant is coming unless we stand up. Im Compliant for work, however if there's a mindset its not on the way...You're wrong. I've lived east to west past 7 years. I've had to get compliant. My licensing will take down an open carry that breaks compliance. Not projecting but ide be carried by 6 and let them tried by 12 in this. Good thread.

I was invited to do some courses in CA and the laws are ridiculous. My buddies there explained all the crap they are supposed to abide by but said they've never had issues with the law. The only issue they run into is when ordering stuff.

Who in the world could enforce all of that? Its just to tack on extra charges if you ever do use your weapon for any reason.

Makes sense but eventually people get in trouble. Which sucks. It’s like illegal SBRs. It’s never your FIRST charge. But they like to tack it on.

Same with moonshine. Nobody who wasn’t selling it or otherwise breaking rules has been arrested for it

"Legal" gun owners in California are a lot like gun owners in other states. Lived in SF for three years. The gang bangas and criminals are also a lot like criminals in other states. They don't give a rat's ass about laws. I never did either. Never registered my firearms with the Cal. DOJ and never intended to. A whole slate of new laws are being passed by NY and CA right now (press conferences yesterday) that will make "compliance" damned near impossible and turn a lot of regular folks into felons. Won't do a damned thing to stop crime and the politicians are well aware, it's not about that anyway. It's about further control over people.

If my friends in Cali need anything not available there, they'd let me know. I have installed "compliance" devices on firearms for local dealers that were shipping them to California.
