Re: Rifle Legality in California

Post ban AR-15's must be registered with the state as an 'assault rifle', and can not now be sold in CA. If you currently have one unregistered in CA, you have a problem that could make you a felon, as the time limit for 'amnesty' registration is now passed. Consult an attorney - check with the CA Rifle and Pistol Assoc for the names of the few attorneys who specialize in this area, or contact me for advice off line.
