Frequently Asked Questions

What is the California Handgun Roster and why is it controversial?

The California Handgun Roster lists firearms approved for sale by licensed dealers. It requires specific safety features like microstamping and loaded chamber indicators, which many argue are ineffective or hinder access to modern firearms, leading to legal challenges like Boland v. Bonta.

How does SB 377 affect handgun sales in California?

SB 377 aims to close the 'law enforcement loophole,' which allows police officers to purchase handguns not listed on the official roster. If passed, it would restrict these off-roster sales, potentially impacting availability for both officers and the general public.

Are revolvers exempt from California's microstamping requirement?

Yes, revolvers and single-shot pistols are exempt from the microstamping and loaded chamber indicator requirements for inclusion on the California Handgun Roster. This makes their addition simpler compared to semi-automatic handguns.

What is the significance of rimfire handguns regarding the California Roster?

Rimfire semi-automatic handguns, like those chambered in .22LR, have less stringent requirements for roster approval, primarily needing a magazine disconnect. This facilitates their addition compared to centerfire semi-automatics, which must also meet microstamping and LCI standards.
