New “Liability” Law Targets Gun Companies Nationwide
Assembly Bill 1263, effective 2026, imposes new liability requirements on firearm manufacturers and sellers, impacting sales within California. Companies must adhere to specific conduct rules when selling or transferring products. Failure to comply can result in civil liability for injuries associated with the product's sale or transfer. This law necessitates face-to-face transactions through a California licensed dealer, preventing direct shipments to consumers.
