I just got of the phone with CGOA (Calif Gun Owners of America)
The 10 round ammo limit you referred to was a proposal that AttGen Lockyer suggested to ASS Perata...Perata tried to include it in the bill ex Gov Wilson veto'd, but Gov Davis told him no...the reason being that Davis wants the bill Wilson veto'd to remain the same, so he can pass it with less debate.
The bit about the 10 round mags: if we have mags greater than 10 we can keep them, but won't be able to buy more or parts if they fail. Upon selling or transferring a firearm mags greater than 10 must be destroyed or permanently altered to only contain 10 or less rounds.
The real bad news is a new bill AB 863 authored by ASS Honda-San Jose which will require licensing of ALL handguns upon purchase and retroactive licensing of those you already have. That also means a separate license for each handgun...read lots of fees.
That bill has already been referred to Com Public Safety...guess who the Chairman is? Honda....this is real real bad
Found out something interesting on Gov. Davis...his Bronze Star in Vietnam wasn't a personal one...it was a unit citation for his rear support group. His earlier rep for being pro-gun was because of his association with Gov. Jerry Brown. Jerry's dad, ex. Gov Edmund Brown told Jerry to never deal with gun legislation cuz the pro-gunners would "eat you alive"...so during Jerry's tenure no gun control was passed so both of them looked pro-gun. The political climate has changed and now its all out.
