A new year deserves a new first blog for 2017. If you read my last blog, you can read the new traffic laws that will be enforced in 2017. In addition, California now has new gun laws that were voted in for January 1, 2017 and July 1, 2017.
Under AB 1151, a person can't loan a firearm to anyone other than family. However, there are limitations to this bill; the loan to a family member cannot occur more than six times a year and the loan must be for less than 30 days.
SB 869 requires law enforcement officers to lock their handgun out of plain view in an unattended vehicle - either in the trunk or a locked container.
Senate Bill 1695 ("Stop the Illegal Gun Sales Act") makes it a crime to make a false report about a lost or stolen firearm. The penalty for this will be the inability to purchase a gun for ten years.
Under Prop 63, a firearms owner has five days to report the loss or theft of a firearm, while a firearms dealer has 48 hours to make a report
SB 1446 states that people who own magazines that hold more than 10 rounds (not including several exemptions) must give them up before July 1st of 2017.
