Existing law requires any person who purchases or receives a firearm to possess a firearm safety certificate. Existing law also prohibits a person from selling or transferring a firearm to any person who does not possess a firearm safety certificate. A violation of either of these provisions is punishable as a misdemeanor. This bill would prohibit a person from bringing any firearm, except an antique firearm, into this state as a personal firearm importer, as defined, without obtaining a valid firearm safety certificate within 120 days of bringing that firearm into this state and would make a violation of this provision a misdemeanor. By creating a crime, 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.
