California has Strict Regulations

The regulations regarding what types of firearms are legal and who may possess or carry a firearm that are set by the state of California are very stringent and the state laws concerning the use of various firearms are quite complex. For instance, while private citizens are permitted to own or carry certain weapons, they are banned from owning or possessing weapons such as automatic guns and assault weapons. Also, persons such as a juvenile who have been convicted of a serious crime or an individual convicted of a felony may not possess any firearm.

Also, certain charges of weapons possession are treated as misdemeanor (Brandishing a weapon as defined by California Penal Code Section 417) while others are felonies (Possession of firearms as defined by California Penal Code Sections 12280-12282, for instance). Still other charges could be interpreted as misdemeanor or a felony depending on the circumstances (Carrying a concealed weapon as defined by California Penal Code Section 12025).
