      I’m not aware of any significant local laws in CA. Other than the SF law outlawing sales.

      Which one are you referring to?

        The SF law (that’s where I live), various “may issue” concealed carry permit policies, extra taxes, local ordinances banning renters from having firearms in the home or in their car, it’s just a litany of small encroachments that add up to great difficulty.

          As far as CCW policy, it’s my understand that cities are very aligned with the state DOJ. I’ve looked at a few policies in the past across cities, and they’re basically cookie-cutter.

          As far as issuing, yea, it’s up to your local sherif.

          I wasn’t aware of local-specific excise taxes for firearms. The state does have that 11% one though.

          Very curious about that renter ban, haven’t heard of that one.

          Not trying to be argumentative, just enjoy the nuances of CA gun laws lol

          And I agree, on your sentiment. I don’t have any issues with firearm regulation, I just want it applied with common sense. The state of CA’s gun laws feel like they’re a shitty compromise. The guns right’s group fight against the “ban all guns” group, and what’s left is this. Both sides are uncompromising and take little wins here and there. But the environment it creates is weird, and doesn’t flow well. And definitely doesn’t do any favors for law abiding owners.
