Possession of firearms by prohibited persons, possession of an unregistered firearm, possession of a prohibited assault weapon, or possession of a high-capacity magazine are examples of illegal possession of firearms in California.
You may face criminal charges in California for carrying a concealed gun without a permit, carrying a loaded gun in public, or openly carrying a gun.
Brandishing a weapon, discharging a gun negligently or recklessly, or using a weapon to commit a crime may result in criminal charges.
You may be charged with a crime if you sell or transfer guns without a license, sell a weapon to someone who is banned from possessing weapons, or buy a gun for someone who cannot legally own one.
Failing to properly store a gun in your car or in a home with minors could lead to criminal charges. Guns must be unloaded and locked in a case during transport unless an exception applies.
Individuals who have restraining orders against them are generally banned from owning, possessing, or purchasing firearms. The duration of the ban depends on the specific restraining order.
