pertainant sections of the bill regarding safeties:
(a) For a revolver:
(1) It does not have a safety device that, either automatically in
the case of a double-action firing mechanism, or by manual operation
in the case of a single-action firing mechanism, causes the hammer
to retract to a point where the firing pin does not rest upon the
primer of the cartridge.
(2) It does not meet the firing requirement for handguns pursuant
to Section 12127.
(3) It does not meet the drop safety requirement for handguns
pursuant to Section 12128.
(b) For a pistol:
(1) It does not have a positive manually operated safety device.
(2) It does not meet the firing requirement for handguns pursuant
to Section 12127.
(3) It does not meet the drop safety requirement for handguns
pursuant to Section 12128.
positive manually operated safety device seems to mean that glocks, sigmas, sigs, decockers without any other safety are going to be banned.
also, certain single action and double action revolvers are going to be banned, and like in sb23, there is no provision for inheritance of firearms that are considered unsafe handguns - but as written, i think that the person who is giving the "unsafe handgun" is the only one penalized and has a penalty, which might be hard to enforce....
i tried to get some gun stores involved in trying to publicize sb 23 and 15 before they got through their committees, but some stores didn't really do more than let me post a flyer that i had to make up to try to let people become aware of these bills. it just seems that some people don't really care until it is just too late.
