Would you be surprised if we told you that California has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the United States? Gun control is always a hot subject, and it is one that will never please 100% of the people. The best you can do is educate yourself on the current gun laws in California. Even if you are not a gun-owner, knowing these laws can still be of use to you for your safety and the safety of others.

Here are some laws you should know:

• Background checks are required for anyone wishing to purchase a gun, which also includes a written test.
• Guns must be purchased through state-licensed dealers.
• The majority of assault weapons and .50 caliber rifles are illegal.
• A person may only purchase one handgun per month.
• There is a 10-day waiting period before a buyer can receive the gun.
• All guns must be micro stamped, so when it is fired, a serial number attached to the gun and the owner is stamped onto the bullet and casing.
• There is a Gun Violence Restraining order that keeps weapons out of the hands of dangerous people.
• If a person believes a friend or family member, is planning to use their gun improperly or to inflict harm, they can report this to the police who will then confiscate the guns and investigate the claim.

You see how even just knowing these laws can be helpful? There are many other laws that you can read up on as well.

There has been a lot of chatter in the last few months regarding gun control. And because the topic is gun control, there will never be any laws that will make all critics satisfied. There will always be concern, there always be backlash, and there will always be a debate. You probably don’t know all of the California laws on gun control, but these are some you might want to educate yourself on just to be educated and aware.

• You must be at least 18 years old to purchase and possess long gun.
• You must be at least 21 years old to purchase a handgun.
• You may purchase only 1 handgun per month, no more.
• All sellers must have a state license.
• Assault weapons and .50 caliber rifles are banned.
• All gun owners will have to clear a background check and written test during a 10 day waiting period before their purchase is final.
• All guns must be micro-stamped, meaning a specific serial number is stamped on the gun and each bullet that is shot. This makes tracing bullets easier for investigators.
• College campuses are 100% gun-free. This new law sits on top of an older one that made concealed weapon owners exempt. Now, even people with concealed weapons permits must oblige with this law.
• Concerned family members may report that a loved one is a threat to others or themselves. The police will confiscate their guns for a period of time during which they investigate and evaluate the situation and the individual.
• All toy guns must have clearer and more distinct markings that separate them from real guns.

Whenever someone purchases a gun, they must be willing to comply with these laws. Misuse of the gun can be fatal to multiple people and when that person is arrested, there is no guarantee that bail will be offered. If it is though, Chino Bail Bond Store can provide an affordable bail bond with a personalized payment plan.
