California: This Effects YOU! Tell Gvnr. Jerry to VETO ab169

[Jittery Jim Jonah, SASS #64913L]

This week is our last chance to protect our sport in California.....

 

Please send a message to Governor Brown to VETO AB169

 

Single action revolvers are NOT on the approved handgun list. This bill bans any handgun that IS NOT on the current approved list. The wording eliminates the exceptions and makes our revolvers UNSAFE.

 

They cannot be be purchased, sold, or transferred in California if this becomes law. All Californians MUST make their voices heard.

09/10/2013 -
AB 169 has passed the Assembly 46 YES to 30 NO and is now on its way to the Governor.
Please contact the Governor and politely urge that he actively VETO AB 169.
(If he signs or ignores the bill, it becomes law.)



AB 169 (Dickinson) bans the sale and transfer of all lawfully acquired firearms
that were never, or are no longer, on the California roster of approved
handguns. Action needed: Join your local NRA Members' Council

Send a message to the GOVERNOR against USED HANDGUN BAN (AB 169)

Description: AB 169,
as amended, Dickinson. Unsafe handguns.

(1) Existing law provides for the testing of handguns and requires the
Department of Justice to maintain a roster listing all handguns that
are determined not to be unsafe handguns. Existing law makes it a crime,
punishable by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year, to
manufacture, import into the state for sale, keep for sale, offer or
expose for sale, give, or lend an unsafe handgun. Existing law provides
that the provisions defining and governing unsafe handguns do not apply
to the sale, loan, or transfer of any firearm in a transaction that
requires the use of a licensed dealer or to the delivery of a firearm to
a licensed dealer for purposes of a consignment sale or as collateral
for a pawnbroker loan.

This bill would limit these exemptions to a maximum of 2 firearms per
person, per calendar year, andwould make the provisions defining and governing unsafe handgunsinapplicable to the surrender of any pistol, revolver, or other firearm
capable of being concealed upon the person to a local law enforcement
agency. By expanding the definition of a crime, this bill would impose a
state-mandated local program.

(2) Existing law makes the provisions defining and governing unsafe
handguns inapplicable to a single-shot pistol, as specified.

This bill would instead make the provisions defining and governing
unsafe handguns inapplicable to a single-shot pistol with a break top or
bolt action. The bill would make this exemption inapplicable to a
semiautomatic pistol that has been temporarily or permanently altered so
that it will not fire in a semiautomatic mode. By expanding the
definition of a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local
program.

(3) Existing law exempts the purchase of a handgun from the above
prohibition on manufacturing, importing, selling, giving, or lending an
unsafe handgun if the handgun is sold to, or purchased by, the
Department of Justice, a police department, a sheriff’s official, a
marshal’s office, the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, the
California Highway Patrol,begin delete anyend deletebegin insert aend insert
district attorney’s office, or the military or naval forces of this
state or of the United States for use in the discharge of their official
duties.

This bill would prohibit a person exempted under the above provision
from selling or otherwise transferring the ownership of the handgun to a
person who is not exempted under the same provision unless the
transaction is exempt from the requirement to
complete the transaction through a licensed dealer. By expanding the
definition of a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local
program.

(4) The bill would also make nonsubstantive, technical corrections.

begin insert
(5) This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 32000 of
the Penal Code proposed by SB 363 that would become operative if this
bill and SB 363 are both enacted and this bill is enacted last.

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.

Vote: majority.
Appropriation: no.
Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.

This is one of the many reasons I left California many years ago after seeing the handwriting on the wall. Vermont is pretty liberal, but they know better than mess with our gun rights. Good luck to our California pards.

[Calamity Kris]

I love my home state but I fear it left me years ago. Good luck my friends. You are in my prayers.

 

C'mon honey, I'm waitin for you.................

Linda Ronstadt?

She was the reason he wouldn't live in the Governors mansion and declined to be chauffeured around town, hence the "Love" bug. He didn't want publicity about he and Linda..... I don't think she'd be interested anymore....
