Matthew Camaro of Chuck Michel & Associates discusses flaws in San Jose's proposed firearm storage ordinance. The ordinance's definition of 'locked container' incorrectly references the California DOJ's Firearm Safety Devices Roster, which does not include common gun safes. This could render many legally owned safes non-compliant, creating a 'trap for law-abiding gun owners.' The ordinance may also conflict with California's existing negligent storage laws and state preemption.
This video discusses recent local ordinances in San Francisco and Sunnyvale, California, that ban the possession of magazines holding more than 10 rounds. Attorney Chuck Michel explains that these ordinances are being challenged in court based on California's preemption law, which generally prohibits local governments from enacting firearm-related regulations. The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) is also filing a lawsuit against Sunnyvale over an ammunition registration ordinance. The discussion highlights a strategy by gun control advocates to push local initiatives when state-level legislation fails, with funding from groups like Bloomberg and Mayors Against Illegal Guns.
