California’s strict firearm laws ensure safety while limiting Roster, which is crucial to making informed decisions.

What is the CA Roster?

The CA Roster, officially known as the California Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale, is a list of firearms deemed safe and approved for purchase by the California Department of Justice (DOJ). To be included, firearms must pass rigorous safety and functionality tests, ensuring compliance with state regulations.

Key Features of the CA Roster

    • Firearms must include microstamping capabilities.
    • Must pass drop safety and firing tests.
    • Limited to handguns; other firearms follow separate compliance rules.

You can check the official CA DOJ roster to verify if a firearm is approved.

Characteristics of California-compliant firearms

California Compliant Handguns

  • Safety Features: Must include certain safety features, such as a loaded chamber indicator, a magazine disconnect mechanism, and micro-stamping technology (for newer models).
  • Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale: Must be listed on the California Department of Justice’s roster of handguns certified for sale.

California Compliant Rifles

  • Featureless Rifles: Semi-automatic, centerfire rifles that do not have any of the following features:
    • A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon.
    • Thumbhole stock or folding/telescoping stock.
    • A grenade launcher or flare launcher.
    • Flash suppressor.
    • Forward pistol grip.
    • Instead, they may have a fixed stock, a grip that does not allow the thumb to wrap around it, and a muzzle brake instead of a flash suppressor.
  • Fixed Magazine Rifles: Semi-automatic, centerfire rifles with a fixed magazine with no more than 10 rounds are also compliant.

California Compliant Shotguns

  • Shotguns must not have features that classify them as assault weapons, such as a revolving cylinder or certain combinations of features like a telescoping stock or a pistol grip.
General Requirements for All Firearms
  • Magazine Capacity: Magazines must not exceed a 10-round capacity.
  • Age Restrictions: Buyers must be at least 21-years old for handguns and 18 for rifles and shotguns.
  • Background Checks: Mandatory for all sales, including private transactions and sales at gun shows.
  • Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC): Buyers must possess an FSC obtained by passing a written safety test.
It’s important to note that California’s gun laws are subject to change and may vary based on new legislation or court rulings. For the most accurate information, consulting with a legal expert or referring to the California Department of Justice’s Bureau of Firearms is recommended.
