i'm just bringing my communist chest rig that my brother bought me years ago. the pouches can fit 2 ar mags or 1 ak mag.



side note FYI: this ebay store has a ton of inexpensive gear with free shipping from california, so it comes fast.

i ordered 12-shell carriers for the shotgun class and they came in 3 days.

my brother is interested in taking the class as well if he were able to bring a .22lr carbine, being a full-time student and funds are kinda tight.

anyone ever take a .22 to these classes? he would bring either his GSG-522 or my 15-22, but most likely his GSG since he has plenty of range time on the M-16.

No harm in doing such a thing, but in a true dynamic CQB environment it is so simple for a proficient shooter to understand and apply a red dot and its hold off through a large range of distances from contact on out to longer distances. 

this is exactly what i was thinking. wouldn't your greatest worry in CQB be height-over-bore difference? and out in the open, a 50-yard zero on a red dot sight gives you only a couple inches of variation in trajectory out to about 250 yards (.223/5.56) before the real drop off.

The info I read says only the "Palmetto SGA (All)" model Assault Weapon is prohibited.  Palmetto is NOT Palmetto State Armory. And, the receiver has to have "SGA" on it to be the banned model.

Example, PSA sells CA compliant PSA-branded lowers with the bullet button installed.

http://palmettostatearmory.com/catalog/product/view/id/14405/

I wasn't sure if your wife's gun is actually the Palmetto brand & SGA model, or just a PSA.  People sometimes assume they are the same.

I realize the bullet button mod is a show stopper, but I thought I'd throw that out there.

hot damn if thats the case then i just might have to take mine with me and just install the damn button so i can hang on to them. i'd feel better if they were in my possession (not that i don't trust my brother).

just didn't want to bother taking my AR with me if i ended up having to leave my wife's here. she loves that thing

Stupid question, but why is the palmetto brand AR illegal in california? Is it not a mil spec regular ar?

But to answer your question, what is the purpose of the gun you want? Maybe just buy something in a different category for use up there? Try out the pump action AR15!

yeah like Inspector said, they couldn't pull off banning AR-15s outright so they just put a bunch of manufacturers' names into legislation and classified the rifles made by those manufacturers "Assault Rifles." legal to keep if they were owned in CA prior to the ban but had to be registered. illegal to bring into the state. my wife's Palmetto lower is identical to my Spike's lower besides the brand. LOL

to answer your question, i have already decided that (if i actually get any shooting time while in school) i'll be dedicating my California time to pistols and bolt action. they've successfully neutered the AR-15 in California to where it just wouldn't be fun to even try. maybe a semi-auto sniper system, but rather spend the money on a bolt gun.

The procedures related to registration for out of state military suck. Leave them here. As long as your brother has and maintains a permit to acquire, you don't need to transfer.

he does indeed have one at the moment. are you saying he has to renew his every year in order for my guns to be at his house?

Personally I wouldn't molest the firearm.  I'd keep it intact and in storage and would buy a CA legal gun for defense up there.

yeah not quite worried about that as much. my shotgun is 50 state compliant. more worried about storing my evil black guns here for up to 2.5 years

Aloha guys,

need some advice. school after boot camp is at DLI in Monterey, CA. may end up spending up to 2 years there if i get a category IV language.

my dilemma: i have an AR built on an OGC spikes lower (will be CA legal if i install a bullet button), and an M4 clone for my wife built on a palmetto lower (not CA legal because of the palmetto brand).

if i don't want to molest my lower with a bullet button and don't want to get rid of my wife's lower, and would rather leave them with my brother here in Oahu, do i have to transfer them to him or can they stay in my name?

Truth.  I've flown into LA, picked up a car, and driven to Palm Desert/Rancho Mirage/Indian Wells on more than one occasion.  Not a big deal.  The chances of you getting caught up in something are really, really slim.  Would I carry if I could?  Sure.  Would I have a panic attack if I can't?  Nope.  Don't let fear rule your life.

more truth.

i've flown into LA with my wife and kid, got a rental and drove around before heading to Anaheim for disneyland. on to vegas (which felt sketchier than LA to be honest) and back to LA.

even had to get gas close to the airport in a dumpy looking area. head was on a swivel but there was nothing going on that made me fear for my family's safety.

if anything, worry more about your credit card number getting raped.

tons of fun guys. I was the one with the cheapest shotgun out there (aka the Norinco) flying like superman when shooting prone! that was my brother shooting my wife's mossberg 590 (and he HATED her short LOP stock lol).

we had a lot of fun. reinvigorated my love for that damn shotgun!
