CA, “leading the way,” once more!
CA’s AG maintains a “Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale.” As you might imagine, the list of handguns that may be legally purchased in CA is continuously shrinking!
The state, through its justice department, has functionally established the goal of phasing-out the lawful purchase of all autoloading pistols (regardless of capacity) by citizens, including retired LEOs. No timetable has been officially set, but most believe the list of “decertified” handguns will include all autoloaders by the end of 2019.
Ultimate status of existing handguns in private possession, that have been subsequently dropped from the “List,” is currently unknown, but forced confiscation is a safe bet!
Thus before long, CA residents may be looking to 7/8-shot 38/357 revolvers currently manufactured by S&W and Ruger for home defense, and 5/6-shot revolvers for carrying, such as the Kimber K6, new Colt Cobra, Ruger LCR, and S&W’s 340PD 5-shot snubby
It may be no coincidence that Colt is currently re-introducing its 6-shot Cobra revolver (38Spl), Kimber came out with their excellent K6 revolver (357Mg), and Ruger has recently introduced its eight-shot Redhawk (357Mg)!
Before it is all over, the Supremes may rule, in five years, maybe twenty. In the interim, down here in peon-land, all we can do is prepare and otherwise look after our own best interests, a strategy which may include moving to another state!

The Second Amendment is in place TO ENABLE THE “CAPABILITY” of Americans, through ownership of EFFECTIVE firearms, to collectively KEEP SECURE THEIR FREEDOMS AND PROVIDE THEIR SECURITY. Americans are not helpless to the subjugation of totalitarian rule. However, if the EVOLVING TO TYRANNY government DISARMS US – OR – EFFECTIVELY DISARMS US – (As their goal is to “TAKE THE CAPABILITY”) . . . AND EVERYONE COMPLIES – SURRENDERS THEIR FIREARMS – INCREMENTALLY IF NOT TOTALLY . . . THEY WILL GLADLY TAKE EVERYTHING WE ARE WILLING TO COMPLY WITH SURRENDERING!!! THE MORE WE WILLINGLY SURRENDER – THE MORE THEY… Read more »
Just a slow method of banning all handguns. It’s still a GUN BAN!!
I was born and raised in the bay area. 50+ years in the bay. I was raised with a loaded, full auto hanging in the closet. I got my hunting license at 13 years old. I was taught at a young age to respect and appreciate firearms. I was using a firearm to make a living at 16 years old. I have lots of guns! Not everybody in california is a left-wing idiot. Yet where I live I can’t get a permit to carry. Me and my family have had enough of this democrat majority bullshi*. We are selling our… Read more »
I am in the process of moving from a very Red county in California to the very Red state of Idaho, as after all but two years (Army 1966-68) of 70 years of residence in California, I’ve had it with the Gay Mafia controlled Loonie Bin that is the state legislature and 9th Circuit Court. At what point did tax payers start funding sex changes for state prisoners, (illegal) “sanctuary” lives for the worst of the worst from Mexico & Central America then the incessant dismemberment of the 2nd amendment that was enshrined to protect us from those very Nortenos,… Read more »
I currently live in kommiefornia. Have most of my life. The brite side here gents…… I’m a Reagan Conservative, and a bit further to the right. I am actively seeking comfort outside of my current state boundaries. So, you all needn’t worry what I’m brining with me politically. Remember, there are those us here that just can’t pick up move, but have to work at it. Granted, the gun list here is vaporizing, and most of my shooting irons will be on the confiscation list altho bought legally here. Go figure. I see the tide here in kommiefornia radically shifting… Read more »
Problem with people from CA and the NE area is they bring their liberal ideas with them and corrupt the free states they move into, when escaping their liberal paradise. Please stay away!!
