Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary risk of registering an 'assault weapon' in California?

The primary risk is that if an 'assault weapon' is registered to only one person, other adult family members living in the same household who have access to the firearm can inadvertently become felons, even if the gun is secured.

What is 'joint registration' for California 'assault weapons'?

'Joint registration' means that if you choose to register an 'assault weapon,' every individual in your household who has access to that firearm must also register themselves individually to avoid legal issues.

Who provides expert legal information on California gun laws mentioned in the video?

The video references a webinar hosted by Michel & Associates, the legal team for the California Rifle and Pistol Association (CRPA) and the NRA's arm in California, as a source for detailed legal information.

Can locking up a registered 'assault weapon' prevent family members from facing charges?

No, simply locking up a registered 'assault weapon' does not prevent family members with access from facing charges if they are not also registered. The risk is particularly high when the primary registrant is not home.
