CA new laws to be enacted regarding pistols
- Thread starter Duzell
- Start date
I'm betting on a European based company which may have an imperfect understanding of what that might do to sales in the remaining states.So, now the question is: "Which gun company caves first?"

I don't think any gun company will "cave". CalGuns has already urged all gun companies not to cooperate by building guns which comply with these ridiculous requirements.
The lawsuit alone will put a damper on any company spending millions to comply, since that money would be wasted if we win Pena.

It's gonna be interesting. I'm sure there are a dozen lawsuits in the works right now to challenge this bill, but just for kicks, let's say it's here to stay. Making the corporate call that you're giving up on the CA market for all new-model firearms... not an easy call at all from a purely $$$ standpoint.I don't think any gun company will "cave".
If it's really only a couple hundred bucks a year to keep your gun on the list, then I don't see any company ever taking anything off the list (especially if it then becomes impossible to change their mind and put it back on the list a year or two later).

As Librarian stated, LEOs are exempt. In fact, most LEOs in California carry sidearms that are not on the list because us regular citizens are restricted to 10 round mags. I don't know of any officer who carries less than the max available for a .40 Glock. This extends to off-duty arms. Most backups carried by officers are non-roster items, as there are very few pocket carry small pistols on the approved list. For example, no Nano, LCP, the S&W .380 micropistol, Kimber Solo, XDM series, Glock Gen 4, XDs etc are all off-roster. We can buy Shields, but officers can purchase and carry the non-California approved version (which are much easier to acquire).
As an aside, a new law on Brown's desk for signature will eliminate the ability of officers to sell off-roster arms to any one in a FTF transaction after two officers were arrested in Sacramento for making money as a side business selling such arms, and other officers in LA got in trouble for selling Kimber special edition SWAT pistols that they were getting for a real deal (like $500 if memory serves) and were reselling for $1500.
