Quick Summary

California's firearm background check system is overwhelmed, causing delays that push some residents to acquire firearms through illegal means. Methods include assembling unregulated Polymer 80 frames or modifying black powder revolvers with conversion cylinders, both of which bypass standard legal acquisition processes and are explicitly stated as illegal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are Californians being forced to break the law to acquire firearms?

California's firearm background check system is severely overloaded, causing significant delays that often exceed legal limits. This inefficiency, coupled with a mandatory 10-day waiting period, makes it difficult for law-abiding citizens to legally purchase firearms in a timely manner, leading some to explore unregulated or alternative acquisition methods.

What are some alternative methods people are using to acquire firearms in California?

Some individuals are purchasing unregulated parts like Polymer 80 frames, which are not classified as firearms, and then assembling them into functional handguns. Another method involves buying black powder revolvers, which are not regulated like modern firearms, and then using conversion cylinders to fire modern cartridges.

Are Polymer 80 frames legal to buy in California?

Polymer 80 frames themselves are considered unfinished parts and are not classified as firearms, meaning they can be purchased without a background check. However, the process of completing these frames and assembling them into a functional firearm without following proper legal procedures, such as serialization, is illegal in California.

Are black powder revolvers legal to own in California without a background check?

Yes, black powder firearms are federally and in California not regulated as firearms and can be shipped directly to consumers without a background check. However, modifying them with conversion cylinders to fire modern cartridges, without adhering to firearm registration and serial number requirements, would render the firearm illegally possessed.
