I checked CA's gun laws,and they don't require registration on
handguns,EXCEPT if you are bringing them into CA.
THEN,you are a "handgun im****ter",and have to register them.
And they must meet the CA specs for handguns;be on their "approved" list.
I believe they got Farina on the "im****ter" nonsense.
(although he was -LEAVING- CA.)
I guess if you leave CA with your guns,you first have to register them,or
commit a felony upon return.
A Communist paradise,California.
