I've lived in very gun friendly states my entire life, but there may be a situation that requires moving to California for a few years. Yes, I know...don't do it. Trust me, I absolutely do not want to, but I need to understand what it would be like if I had to.
I've done some poking around online: CA DOJ, Calguns, YouTube, etc., but everything I come across seems to be old, outdated, in flux, confusing, or a 'gray area'.
-What are good, up to date, accurate sources of information regarding what is and isn't legal to bring into and possess in Ca?
-Is there someplace to call or otherwise ask specific questions that aren't clear from the general information posted at various places?
-For example and from what I can tell, a Colt HBAR AR15 is specifically listed as an illegal assault weapon, but another thing I read seems to imply that if I removed the 'evil' features, it may no longer be considered such. Is that the case, or does that only apply to guns not specifically listed?
-Are magazines over 10 rounds legal to bring in and/or possess? I always thought no, but it seems that that may have recently changed or be changing?
-If I were to leave an off roster handgun with a gunsmith (Colt) prior to moving there, would I be allowed to receive it back once work was completed? How about if I sent it off after moving there?
Thanks in advance for any help.
