Existing law prohibits the sale, transfer, or possession of a large-capacity magazine, as defined. Existing law exempts from this prohibition the sale or transfer to, or the possession by, a peace officer or retired peace officer, as specified, or to or by a person enrolled in the course of basic training prescribed by the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training, or any other course certified by the commission, for purposes of participation in the course, as specified. Existing law prohibits the sale, transfer, or possession of an assault weapon, as specified. Existing law exempts from this prohibition the sale or transfer of an assault weapon to, or the possession of an assault weapon by, a peace officer, as specified.
