(1) Existing law requires the Department of Justice to maintain a roster listing all pistols, revolvers, and other firearms capable of being concealed on the person that have been tested by a certified testing laboratory and have been determined not to be unsafe handguns. Existing law allows the department to charge manufacturers of firearms an annual fee not to exceed the costs of preparing, publishing, and maintaining the roster. This bill would require the annual fee, commencing on January 1, 2015, to be paid on January 1, or the next business day, of every year. (2) Existing law makes it a misdemeanor punishable with specified penalties if a person keeps a handgun at the person's premises and knows or reasonably should know that a child is likely to gain access to the handgun without permission, as specified, and the child gains access to the handgun and carries it off-premises or off-premises to a school, as specified. This bill would make that prohibition apply to a person who keeps a handgun at the person's premises and knows or reasonably should know that a prohibited person, as specified, is likely to gain access to the handgun, and the prohibited person gains access to the handgun and carries it off-premises or off-premises and to a school, as specified. (3) Existing law makes it an offense for any person in this state to manufacture or cause to be manufactured, import into the state for sale, keep for sale, offer or expose for sale, give, or lend any unsafe handgun, as defined. Existing law exempts from those prohibitions, the sale of handguns to, or the purchase of handguns by, specified law enforcement entities, among others. This bill would exempt the sale of handguns to, or the purchase of handguns by, federal law enforcement agencies from the application of those prohibitions. (4) Existing law, subject to exceptions, provides that the offense of criminal storage of a firearm is committed when a person who keeps any loaded firearm within any premises that are under the person's custody or control knows or reasonably should know that a child is likely to gain access to the firearm without the permission of the child's parent or legal guardian, and the child obtains access to the firearm and thereby causes death or injury to the child or any other person, as specified, or carries the firearm to a public place, or unlawfully displays or uses the firearm, as specified. This bill would expand these provisions to include the circumstance of when the person who keeps the firearm knows or reasonably should know that a person prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm or deadly weapon, as specified, is likely to gain access to the firearm, and that person gains access to the firearm and thereby causes death or injury to himself or herself or any other person, as specified, or carries the firearm to a public place, or unlawfully displays or uses the firearm, as specified. (5) This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 25100 of the Penal Code proposed by AB 231 that would become operative if this bill and AB 231 are both enacted and this bill is enacted last. This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 32000 of the Penal Code proposed by AB 169 that would become operative if this bill and AB 169 are both enacted and this bill is enacted last. (6) By expanding the scope of existing crimes, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
