Frequently Asked Questions

What is the current status of the Boland case regarding California's handgun roster?

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals granted the state's motion for a stay in the Boland case. This means enforcement of parts of a ruling that challenged specific handgun roster requirements, such as chamber load indicators and magazine disconnects, has been temporarily halted.

How has the Renna v. Bonta lawsuit impacted California's handgun roster?

The Renna v. Bonta lawsuit, amended after the Bruen decision, resulted in a preliminary injunction granted by the Southern District of California. This injunction successfully struck down the 'three-to-one' roster deletion provision, which previously required three existing models to be removed for each new model added.

Is microstamping still a requirement for handguns in California?

Currently, microstamping is not a mandatory requirement for manufacturers to get their handguns added to California's roster. This is because the Ninth Circuit did not grant a stay on that specific portion of the Boland case ruling, leaving it unenforceable for now.

How did the NYSRPA v. Bruen Supreme Court decision affect Second Amendment litigation?

The Bruen decision fundamentally changed Second Amendment litigation by shifting the legal analysis away from interest-balancing tests. Courts must now focus on whether firearm regulations are consistent with the nation's historical tradition of firearm regulation, rather than weighing government interests against individual rights.
