FAQ - California Compliance
What does the term “California Compliant Guns” mean?
"California Compliant Guns" refers to the set of firearms that adhere to the specific regulations set by the state of California. Given the state’s distinctively rigorous firearm regulations, these compliant guns ensure that firearm enthusiasts remain within the bounds of the law.
I’m confused that there is a California “assault weapons” ban, yet an AR-15 can be classified as a California Compliant Gun?
Yes. While California has strict regulations on AR-15s, enthusiasts can possess semiautomatic AR-15s that are designated as California compliant guns. This requires the rifle to fit within the fixed-magazine or featureless categories as set by the state. See the next FAQ question for more details on which is right for you.
I live in California and I want to buy a pistol. People are telling me what I buy has to be on a “roster.” How does “the roster” impact the availability of California compliant guns?
"The roster" is an integral component of the state’s regulation, listing handguns that meet California’s safety and functionality criteria. For a handgun to be sold and considered a California compliant gun, it needs to be on this roster, thereby influencing the types of handguns available in the market.
In California, firearms must meet specific criteria to be considered compliant with the state's strict gun laws. California compliant firearms are those that do not fall into the category of "assault weapons" as defined by state law and meet all other legal requirements. Here are some of the characteristics of California-compliant firearms:
