Questions
What should I do if my firearms are seized by law enforcement?
Contact our office immediately. We can guide you through the LEGR application process and court proceedings to reclaim your firearms while ensuring compliance with California law.
Can I legally transport firearms through restrictive states?
Yes, under federal 'Safe Passage' laws. Firearms must be unloaded and secured in a locked container separate from the passenger compartment during interstate travel.
How do I comply with California's assault weapon regulations?
Register your weapon with the DOJ, transport it in a locked container, and consult our experts to ensure adherence to evolving state-specific requirements.
What are the penalties for carrying without a CCW license?
Penalties range from misdemeanors with up to one year in jail to felonies carrying three-year prison terms, depending on prior convictions and firearm registration status.
Can I use a firearm for self-defense in my home?
California's Castle Doctrine presumes reasonable fear of harm when using deadly force against intruders. However, prosecutors may challenge this presumption based on incident specifics.
