Buying and Possessing a Firearm in California

In California, if you are eligible to buy and own guns, you can usually have pistols and rifles. However, there are some types of guns that are not allowed, such as semi-automatic firearms, short-barreled shotguns or rifles, .50 BMG caliber rifles, and guns with high-capacity magazines.

To purchase a gun legally in California, you can only buy it from a licensed firearms dealer in the state. Moreover, only verified California residents are eligible to buy firearms in the state. There are several eligibility requirements to be met, and not everyone can purchase a gun. The following section will discuss these requirements in detail.

If you’re a California resident and want to purchase a gun in the state, there are a few things you need to keep in mind.

- - Firstly, you’ll have to pass a safety test to obtain a Firearm Safety Certificate before purchasing a gun.
  - Additionally, the age requirement for purchasing firearms is 18 years for long guns and 21 years for handguns.
  - After purchasing a gun, there’s a mandatory 10-day waiting period before you can receive the firearm. This waiting period is for a background check to determine if you’re eligible to own a firearm in California and not prohibited under state law from owning it.

Who Cannot Legally Possess Firearms in California?

California has strict laws on who can possess firearms in the state. A wide range of individuals are prohibited from owning guns, including those who have been convicted of certain misdemeanors or most felony offenses. This lifetime ban also extends to misdemeanor domestic violence offenses, meaning that those with such convictions are permanently prohibited from possessing firearms in California. There are several factors that could prevent you from legally possessing a firearm, including:

- - In addition to lifetime bans, there are also certain criminal convictions that result in a 10-year ban on possessing firearms in California. Even certain misdemeanor convictions, such as certain threat crimes, assault crimes, and bringing firearms into public offices where firearms are prohibited, can lead to this 10-year ban. This means that individuals with such convictions are prohibited from owning or possessing firearms for a period of 10 years following the conviction.
  - If a person has been detained under the Welfare and Institutions Code due to being a danger to themselves or others, they may be prohibited from possessing firearms for 5 years. Additionally, individuals who have been certified with certain mental health disorders under specific Welfare and Institutions statutes may face a lifetime ban on owning firearms.
  - If a minor has been convicted of certain crimes and is deemed a ward of the court, they are not allowed to possess a firearm until they turn 30 years old.

Places in California where it is illegal to bring firearms:

- - Schools, school zones, and school property.
  - College or university campuses, except in limited circumstances.
  - Government buildings, including courthouses, state and federal offices, and some public buildings.
  - Public gatherings or events, such as parades or protests.
  - Airports and other transportation facilities.
  - Any private property where the owner has posted a sign prohibiting firearms.
  - National parks and wildlife refuges, unless allowed by federal law.
  - Any location where the possession of firearms is prohibited by federal law..

Penalties for Firearm-Related Crimes

For a misdemeanor weapons charge, you could face:

- - up to one year in jail
  - and a fine of up to $1,000.

However, if you belong to a gang, were in possession of a stolen gun, unlawfully possessed a firearm, or have a prior felony conviction, your punishment is likely to be more severe. A felony weapons charge could result in:

- - a sentence of up to three years in jail
  - and a fine of up to $10,000

Furthermore, a gun crime conviction can have a significant impact on your 2nd Amendment rights. In California, if you are convicted of a felony, you will be banned for life from possessing a firearm. If you have been convicted of assault with a weapon or have two or more convictions for brandishing a firearm, you will also be banned for life from possessing a gun. There are around 40 misdemeanor charges that carry a 10-year ban on firearm possession upon conviction, such as battery, assault, brandishing a weapon, making criminal threats, willfully violating a domestic protective order, and discharging a firearm in a grossly negligent manner.

Several years ago, I was contending with a serious legal issue. Out of the blue, I became aware that a corporation had obtained a large civil money judgment against me, in court, and on a case I was not aware of. When I became apprised of the judgment and the company's efforts to enforce the debt against me, I became angry and concerned. How would this case and judgment affect my financial future? Was there any way to fix this? I approached several other attorneys for assistance, but they all said the same thing: that because the judgment was over a year old (almost 2 years old, actually) it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to remove the judgment and to re-open the case. Given what other attorneys had told me about my case, I was not hopeful. But I decided to turn to and hire the Tabibnia Law Firm because I was aware of their strong reputation in both civil law matters and criminal defense cases. Mr. Tabibnia went out of his way to fight for me. To my great surprise, he convinced the court to set aside the judgment against me and to re-open the case. And months after getting the case re-opened, I was astonished when he then got the case completely dismissed! So, I went from having a large money judgment against me to getting the judgment removed and case dismissed in a matter of months. Throughout the process, I found Mr. Tabibnia to be honest, aggressive, competent and extremely fair with his fees. Most importantly, he kept me informed throughout the case. I cannot recommend the Tabibnia Law Firm highly enough.

I am here, writing on the behalf of Mr. Cyrus Tabibnia. From the very first moment we formally introduced ourselves to one another, I felt nothing but sincerity and authenticity from this man. At that very moment I knew, that this was the person ideal to represent me and to do diligence. In which in fact he did do so. He was able to significantly get my DUI and Car Theft charges reduced from felonies to misdemeanors and with one case, completely dismissed. I was not only impressed and satisfied completely, but I was not suprised one bit with the outcome. I highly suggest this gentlemen if you are in deed seeking counsel from someone who legitimately cares, and who will go the extra mile and above and beyond for you.
