Folding Stocks in California - is the LAW FOLDER LEGAL IN CALIFORNIA?
This video explains California's complex laws regarding folding stocks on semi-automatic firearms. It clarifies that folding stocks are generally prohibited on 'featureless' rifles due to assault weapon definitions. For fixed-magazine rifles, the overall length requirement of 30 inches in the shortest fireable configuration makes folding stocks impractical without significantly longer barrels. For AR-15 pistols, folding stocks are permissible if the overall length remains above 26 inches, but adding a vertical foregrip then triggers NFA regulations.
